I never once backed down from a punch
      D7                        G
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
     Gm                  D       D/C# Bm
Well I found out fast, a bully's just that
    Em                        A
And you've got to stand up to him
   D                   F#m/D
So I didn't cry when I got a black eye
   D7                    G
As bad as it hurt I just grinned

They turn into big babies again

Scared me to death when you took your first steps

And your first day of school, I cried like a fool
      Em                          A
And I followed your school bus to town

     D                 F#m/D
Well I didn't cry when old Yeller died

At least not in front of my friends

Well sometimes it's hard to believe
    Gm                   D      D/C#   Bm
How one little girl with little blonde curls
    Em              A
Can totally terrify me
   D                   F#m/D
If you were to ask, my wife would just laugh
      D7                   G
She'd say I know all about men
    Gm                     D     D/C#  Bm    Bm/A
How tough little boys grow up to  be   Dads
          G        A      D
They turn into big babies again
     Bm                  G
Well I know one day I'll give you away
    D            A               D
And I'm gonna to stand there and smile
    Bm                  G        G/F#
But when I get home and I'm all alone
     Em                         A
Then I'll sit in your room for awhile
