[Verso 1]
C G
19 years old,
C G
in the middle of the night
D
I held you for the first time,
C D
No way Id get it right
C G
Didnt own a thing
C G
Didnt even have a plan
D
Young kid scared as hell
C D
tryin to be a man.
G C
It seemed like overnight
D G
And suddenly youre three
D
Purple hands and lips
C D
From papas mulberry tree
C G
Runnin round in dresses
C G
And you didnt even care
D
That you looked a little silly
C D
Cuz your daddy did your hair
[Refrão]
G C
Like the good book tells us
D G
What you sow is what you reap
G C
So I taught you how to ride a bike
D G
And at night sung you to sleep
Em G
But like a Kansas sunset
C G
As it drops below the wheat
C G
I hung on for a little while
A D
But you were never mine to keep
C D
Built you a place to jump from
C D G
Now step up there...and leap
[Verso 2]
C G
The years flew by
C G
Didnt get a chance to breathe
D
Broken hearts, broken arms,
C D
And even broken teeth
C G
I Remember in December
C G
When you got your first guitar
D
Then I tried to hide, the misty eyes
C D
When you drove off in your first car
G C
I know there were times
D G
When I hung on too dam tight
D
And times when I wasnt there
C D
Shoulda been there by your side
C G
Well you know I did my best
C G
And at times i let you down
D
But looking at you now
C D
You landed both feet on the ground
[Refrão]
G C
Like the good book tells us
D G
What you sow is what you reap
G C
So I taught you how to ride a bike
D G
And at night sung you to sleep
Em G
But like a Kansas sunset
C G
As it drops below the wheat
C G
I hung on for a little while
A D
But you were never mine to keep
C D
Built you a place to jump from
C D G
Now step up there...and leap
[Verso 3]
C G
This is your big day
C G
Looking at you there
D
So happy that youre happy
C D
And that I didnt do your hair
C G
Standing with the man
C G
That the good lord sent to you
D
His name means gift from God
C D
And your face says that its true
G C
And i know even though
D G
A chapter now is done
D
Im not losing a daughter
C D
But Im gaining a son
C G
Every Kansas Sunset
C G
Is followed by the dawn
D
When that old star comes up again
C D
And a brand new new day is born
[Refrão]
G C
Like the good book tells us
D G
What you sow is what you reap
G C
So I taught you how to ride a bike
D G
And at night sung you to sleep
Em G
But like a Kansas sunset
C G
As it drops below the wheat
C G
I hung on for a little while
A D
But you were never mine to keep
C D
Built you a place to jump from
C D G
Now step up there...and leap
