Verse 1:

Bb              Gm               F

  Only two more days, until your birthday

      Eb

Yesterday was mine

Bb                  Gm                    F

  You'll be turning five I know what it's like

                        Eb

growing up without your father in your life



Refrain:

Gm      F        Bb          Eb

So I pretend I'm doing all I can

      Gm                  F               Eb

And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart

Gm       F        Bb       Eb

To understand Why I'm not around

       Gm              F             Eb

And forgive me for not being in your life





Chorus:

           Bb

I remember waiting For you to come

         Gm

Remember waiting For you to call

         F                                Eb

Remember waiting there to find nothing at all

(repeat)





(Repeat Intro once)



Verse 2:

Bb          Gm                    F

  Maybe someday you really get to know me

                     Eb

not just the letters read to you

Bb                 Gm                      F

  I pray I get the chance To make it up to you

                Eb

We got a lot of catching up to do





(Repeat refrain and chorus)
