D                   A
I remember sayin' I don't care either way
Bm                    A      G
Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm ok
D                              A
Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
            Bm                    A          G
And said "Ya see that thing right there well ya know what that means"
A                           G
And I started wondering who he was going to be
    A                           G                  A
And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me

G                                        A
He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike too fast
D                          Bm                   A
End up every summer wearin something in a cast
G                  D/F#                Em                         A
He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street
G                            A
He's gonna get in trouble oh he's gonna get in fights
Bm               A               E4 E
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
   G                F#m                  Bm  E        A             D
It safe to say that I'm gonna get my pay back if he's anything like me

( D G A )

D                       A
I can see him right now knees all skinned up
       Bm               A        G
With a magnifying glass tryin to melt the Tonka truck
D                            A
Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on
Bm                        A        G
That'll be his first love till his first love comes along
A                                G
He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens
A                           G             A
And heaven help him if he's anything like me

G                                    A
He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
D                           Bm
Get a speeding ticket he'll pay for mowing grass
G          D/F#               Em                          A
He's gonna get caught skippin class and be grounded for a week
G                            A
He's gonna get in trouble we're gonna get in fights
Bm                A               E4 E
I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep
G                     F#m              Bm      E        A        G
It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my pay back if he's anything like me

( G F#m Em D A )

A          G           D                 A
He's gonna love me and hate me along the way
A                   G      Em                  A
The years are gonna fly by I already dread the day
G                         A
He's gonna hug he's momma he's gonna shake my hand
Bm                  A                E4 E
He's gonna act like he can't wait to leave
G                   F#m             Bm
But as he drives out he'll cry he's eyes out
E       A        D
If he's anything like me
G
There's worse folks to be like
F#m         Bm      E       A             D   G A D
Aw he'll be alright if he's anything like me
