[Verse 1]
       Dsus4      D              
It was six in the morning when I 
Dsus2           D
made the county line
        Dsus4               D     
There's someone I've got to talk 
         Dsus2         D
to, can't get it off my mind
      Em     D            A 
He is just a kid and he's in a 
                Bm
pretty rough spot
F#m          G                  
Two dimes to make a phone call, 
A                  Dsus4   D  
that's about all I got
Dsus2  D



[Verse 2]
         Dsus4  D      Dsus2     
How's my boy  today? I know it's 
           D
been three weeks
        Dsus4             D       
But you know how far I've got to 
        Dsus2             D
go these days to make ends meet
           Em   D         A      
How's your mama now, with her new
          Bm
 live-in friend?
F#m       G                    A
Oh, how I hate the wounds that 
             Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D
never seem to mend


[Chorus]
          G                      
You said, I don't call him daddy, 
     C                G
but he takes care of things
         G                         
When you pick me up on Friday, are 
                      D
you gonna bring me anything?
G                                 
Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it 
      C              Em  D
don't matter what we do

      C                G          
Cause I don't call him daddy, he 
                 Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D
can never be like you


[Verse 3]
Dsus4         D                  
God bless the little hearts, 
        Dsus2           D
they're the ones who really pay
     Dsus4             D          
When Mom and Dad can't get along 
        Dsus2             D
and they go their separate ways
     Em                   D       
In a way I'm glad there's someone 
         A              Bm
there to fill the empty space
F#m           G               A 
Tears of understanding stream 
           Dsus4   D  Dsus2  D
down a dirty face


[Chorus]
          G                      
You said, I don't call him daddy, 
     C                G
but he takes care of things
         G                         
When you pick me up on Friday, are 
                      D
you gonna bring me anything?
G                                 
Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it 
      C              Em  D
don't matter what we do
      C                G          
Cause I don't call him daddy, he 
                 D
can never be like you


[Tag 1]
        Bm    G
Be like you
        Bm    G    A
Be like you


[Bridge]
      Dsus4          D            
He is quite a little man growin' 
     Dsus2      D
up as fast as he can
    Dsus4          D               
And I don't get to see him half as 
Dsus2         D
much as I had planned
        Em                D       
There's so much I need to tell 
     A               Bm
him, so precious little time
         F#m         G             
A little rain on the window, and a 
A               Dsus4  D
little wave goodbye


[Chorus]
          G                      
You said, I don't call him daddy, 
     C                G
but he takes care of things
         G                         
When you pick me up on Friday, are 
                      D
you gonna bring me anything?
G                                 
Oh, don't worry Dad, you know, it 
      C              Em  D
don't matter what we do
      C                G          
Cause I don't call him daddy, he 
                 D
can never be like you

         G                         
He said, I don't call him daddy,

but he takes care of things
         G

Cause I don't call him daddy, he 
                 D
can never be like you
