Intro: A F#m E D
F#m C#m D A
I have my heroes, but no one knows their names
F#m C#m D A
They never ask for recognition, they never wanted fame
F#m C#m D A
My granddad fought the Second World War when he was just eighteen
F#m C#m D A
He spent four months as a prisoner to give me the American dream
E Bm D
In my eyes, he’s everything, all I hope to be
E F#m G D
And I won’t forget that day he said he was proud of me
CHORUS:
A F#m
So I’ll take that one day, and figure out what I did right
E D
I’ll do it the same way for the rest of my life
A F#m
Yeah, take that one day, and figure out what I did right
E D
I’ll do it the same way for the rest of my life
A
What I did right
I have my good friends, they have a place inside my heart
But my best friend, well she holds the biggest part
She finds the good in me, yeah she knows just what it takes
And she loves the man in me through all of my mistakes
In my eyes, she’s everything, everything to me
And I won’t forget that day she said “You’re all I need”
You’re all I need
CHORUS
A D F#m
And as I hold my newborn baby to give her comfort while she cries
Bm A/C# D A E/G# F#m E B7sus4 B7
In this moment I feel helpless ‘til she looks into my eyes
D
Her tears subside
REPEAT CHORUS TO END (First time, A F#m A D…Rest as previous)
