My Boy

[Intro]
G D/F# Cadd9 D Em7 G D/F#
Cadd9 D G

[Verse 1]
G               D/F#
 He ain't got my    smile,
           Cadd9  D    Em7
that don't bother me a bit
        G      D/F#                Cadd9  D      G
He's got somebody  else's eyes I'm seeing myself in
G            D/F#
 I'm holding on  to every moment,
    Cadd9      D        Em7
God knows I've missed a few
    G           D/F#                Cadd9    D     G
The day we met I    knew I had some catching up to do

[Chorus]
Em7              D/F#
   He ain't  my    blood,
ain't got my name
G         Cadd9
 But if he     did, I'd feel the same
Em7        D/F#
   I wasn't    there for his first steps
G           Cadd9
 But I ain't     missed a ball game yet
Em7    D/F#
   And that ain't ever gonna change
G Cadd9
  I    could never walk away
Em7
   Yeah,
       D/F#
he's my    son and that's my choice
G           Cadd9
 He ain't my     blood but he's my,
Em7       D/F#   G Cadd9
   he's my    boy

[Verse 2]
G          D/F#
 It hit me like a train,
          Cadd9   D         Em7
the first time he called me dad
     G                 D/F#                    Cadd9
In a three stick figure    crayon picture with all  of
  D        G
us holding hands
G         D/F#
 His mama said,
                     Cadd9    D        Em7
"I understand if it's     too soon for this"
  G
I didn't let her finish,
D/F#                             Cadd9    D      G
I   took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge,
yeah

[Chorus]
Em7              D/F#
   He ain't  my    blood,
ain't got my name
G         Cadd9
 But if he     did, I'd feel the same
Em7        D/F#
   I wasn't    there for his first steps
G           Cadd9
 But I ain't     missed a ball game yet
Em7    D/F#
   And that ain't ever gonna change
G Cadd9
  I    could never walk away
Em7
   Yeah,
       D/F#
he's my    son and that's my choice
G           Cadd9
 He ain't my     blood but he's my,
Em7       D/F#   G Cadd9
   he's my    boy

[Bridge]
Em7
   He's Saturday morning cartoons
D/F#
    He's "Hey,
can I sleep in your room?"
G
 He's bigger than the plans I had
     Cadd9
He's making me a better man

[Chorus]
Em7              D/F#
   He ain't  my    blood,
ain't got my name
G         Cadd9
 But if he     did, I'd feel the same
Em7        D/F#
   I wasn't    there for his first steps
G           Cadd9
 But I ain't     missed a ball game yet
Em7    D/F#
   And that ain't ever gonna change
G Cadd9
  I    could never walk away
Em7
   Yeah,
       D/F#
he's my    son and that's my choice
G           Cadd9
 He ain't my     blood but he's my,
Em7       D/F#
   he's my    boy
G Cadd9              Em7       D/F#   G Cadd9
       Yeah, he's my,   he's my    boy
