[Verse 1]
Dsus4DDsus2D
It was six in the morning when I made the county line
Dsus4DDsus2D
There's someone I've got to talk to, can't get it off my mind
EmDABm
He is just a kid and he's in a pretty rough spot
F#mGADsus4DDsus2D
Two dimes to make a phone call, that's about all I got
[Verse 2]
Dsus4DDsus2D
How's my boy today? I know it's been three weeks
Dsus4DDsus2D
But you know how far I've got to go these days to make ends meet
EmDABm
How's your mama now, with her new live-in friend?
F#mGADsus4DDsus2D
Oh, how I hate the wounds that never seem to mend
[Chorus]
GCG
You said, I don't call him daddy, but he takes care of things
GD
When you pick me up on Friday, are you gonna bring me anything?
GCEmD
Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it don't matter what we do
CGDsus4DDsus2D
Cause I don't call him daddy, he can never be like you
[Verse 3]
Dsus4DDsus2D
God bless the little hearts, they're the ones who really pay
Dsus4DDsus2D
When Mom and Dad can't get along and they go their separate ways
EmDABm
In a way I'm glad there's someone there to fill the empty space
F#mGADsus4DDsus2D
Tears of understanding stream down a dirty face
[Chorus]
GCG
You said, I don't call him daddy, but he takes care of things
GD
When you pick me up on Friday, are you gonna bring me anything?
GCEmD
Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it don't matter what we do
CGD
Cause I don't call him daddy, he can never be like you
[Tag 1]
BmG
Be like you
BmGA
Be like you
[Bridge]
Dsus4DDsus2D
He is quite a little man growin' up as fast as he can
Dsus4DDsus2D
And I don't get to see him half as much as I had planned
EmDABm
There's so much I need to tell him, so precious little time
F#mGADsus4D
A little rain on the window, and a little wave goodbye
[Chorus]
GCG
You said, I don't call him daddy, but he takes care of things
GD
When you pick me up on Friday, are you gonna bring me anything?
GCEmD
Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it don't matter what we do
CGD
Cause I don't call him daddy, he can never be like you
[Outro] (Fade out)
GCG
He said, I don't call him daddy, but he takes care of things
GD
When you pick me up on Friday, are you gonna bring me anything?
GCEmD
Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it don't matter what we do
CGD
Cause I don't call him daddy, he can never be like you
