Half-Step Down

Intro:  D   G x2

Verse 1: 
         D
         Heywood was a daddy in 1942,
         D
         He couldn't read or make his letters,
                                                 G       Cadd9
         He said "Boy, I hope you don't do like I do,"
                     G                     D
         That was my dad he was talking to
               D
         So my father grew up stronger, bigger dreams and bigger plans
             D
         The first to go to college
                                                 G      Cadd9    G
         But he can still work hard with his two hands
                           D
         Thanks to his old man

Chorus:        
                 D
         Yeah he learned to throw a baseball
                G
         How to sail a fishing line
            D
         He learned about forgiveness
                    A
         'Cause you just can't waste the time
                 Bm
         And the circle goes unbroken
                     Cadd9
         But there's so much left undone
         G           D/F#   F
         That's just how it is
                               D
         Between a father and a son

Verse 2: 
         D
         I became a daddy at the age of 23
                  D
         I didn't know what I was doing
                  D                            G        Cadd9   G
         Hell, my daddy wasn't through yet raising me
                        D
         I felt lost at sea
            D                              D
         So I just kept it simple, took it one day at a time
             D
         And followed in the footsteps 
                                             G          Cadd9   G
         Of the men that came before me in my life
                              D
         And we're doing just fine

Chorus:  
                    D
         'Cause you learn to throw a baseball
                G
         How to sail a fishing line
                 D
         And you learn about forgiveness
                    A
         'Cause you just can't waste the time
                 Bm
         And the circle goes unbroken
                     Cadd9
         But there's so much left undone
         G           D/F#   F
         That's just how it is
                   G            D
         Between a father and a son

         But there's so much left undone
         G           D/F#   F
         That's just how it is
             G           D/F#   F    G
         Oh, that's just how it is
                                D      G
         Between a father and a son
                        D     G     D     G
