[Verso 1] G D/F# I remember Lexi Lou with scraped-up knees, Em7 Cadd9 Bumpy ridin' shotgun, talkin' a mile a minute to me, G D/F# Now she's up in Nashville wearin' scrubs and studyin' late, Em7 Cadd9 Tryna hold tiny lives together in a NICU someday. G D/F# And Lord knows I worried when she said, "Daddy, I'm in love," Em7 Cadd9 Thought she was too young, thought she might be rushin' all that stuff, G D/F# But Sammy showed me somethin' that a father hopes to find, Em7 D Cadd9 A man who loves my little girl with a patient, steady kind. [Pré-Refrão] Em7 He ain't loud, D He ain't flashy, Cadd9 Just the type G/B That'll stay, Am7 When life gets hard, G And storms roll in, Cadd9 D He won't run away. [Refrão] G I got three little pieces D Of my heart, Em7 Walkin' 'round this world Cadd9 Beneath the stars. G One's chasin' babies, D One's chasin' dreams, Em7 One's still asleep on her mama's chest, Cadd9 And breathin' easy. G Every prayer D/F# I've ever prayed, Em7 Got a face and a name Cadd9 And a little bit of my DNA. G God gave me daughters, D/F# And changed who I am, Em7 Made a better man outta me, Cadd9 D Than I ever planned. G Hey now, D Slow down, Em7 Baby girl don't blink too fast, Cadd9 Life ain't a race and forever ain't built G From a foot pressed hard D On the gas. Em7 Take your time, D Find your road, Cadd9 Let your roots run deep where you stand. Am7 You'll always be Peanut, D You'll always be mine, Cadd9 Even when you're holdin' D Another man's hand. [Ponte] Em7 There were years, Cadd9 I missed some moments, G Miles, D I couldn't erase. Em7 Times I wished, Cadd9 I could've held 'em G A little tighter, D In that place. Cadd9 Love ain't measured D By a calendar, Em7 A courtroom, G Or a fight. Cadd9 It's measured in D The calls you answer, Em7 And the way you show up D Every night. [Refrão] G I got three little pieces D Of my heart, Em7 Walkin' 'round this world Cadd9 Beneath the stars. G One's chasin' babies, D One's chasin' dreams, Em7 One's still asleep on her mama's chest, Cadd9 And breathin' easy. G Every prayer D/F# I've ever prayed, Em7 Got a face and a name, Cadd9 And a little bit of my DNA. G God gave me daughters, D/F# And changed who I am, Em7 Made a better man outta me, Cadd9 D Than I ever planned.
