E              A
I've got her photograph on a stand by my bed
 A                                     E
Two on the mantle and thousands in my head
          E
I can't believe how fast she's growing
            C#m
It ain't supposed to be like this
 A                              Bsus        B
Everytime I look at her, I see how much I missed

[Chorus]
              E
I missed her first steps
      A
Her first words
Bsus              B                 E
And “I love you daddy” is something I seldom heard
       F#m7
Oh it hurts me so…
         Bsus      B
To watch my girl grow
         E         A

[Verse]
            E
I sent the money down
        A
Do my best to do my part
 A                                            E
But it can't compare to what I paid with my heart
 E
There's still one answered question
             C#m
That weighs heavy on my mind
 A                              Bsus   B
Will she ever understand, the reasons why?

[Chorus]
              E
I missed her first steps
      A
Her first words
Bsus              B                 E
And “I love you daddy” is something I seldom heard
       F#m7
Oh it hurts me so…
         Bsus      B
To watch my girl grow
         E

[Bridge]
 D                             E
Takes all I have to keep the tears inside
 D                                  Bsus       B
And What I wouldn't give if I could turn back time

[Chorus]
              E
I missed her first steps
      A
Her first words
    Bsus            B                E
And “ I love you daddy” is something I seldom heard
      F#m7                     Bsus   B
Oh it hurts me so, to watch my baby grow
        E
