James and the Shame - Creek And Back

[Verse 1]
D G F#m Em
Held you up before God and man
A Bm
Swore to raise you according to a plan
G F#m Em A
Then the blueprint faded to gray

D G F#m Em
Still a lot that I want for you
A Bm
Still a lot that I think is true
G Em A A4 A5
It’s just now the path ain’t quite so straight

[Chorus]
G A Bm
The secret I probably should not tell
Bm G F#m
Is that I still feel like a kid myself
Em A
Been in over my head since we brought you home
Bm G
Biggest thing that I’ve learned is what I don’t know
G
But I’m your dad
A
I know that
A D
And I love you to the creek and back

[Verse 2]
D G F#m Em
Even with the best in-ten-tions
A Bm
I could only guess at the damage done
G Em A A4 A5
You’ll be working through that ’til I’m gone
D G F#m Em
Proud and humbled by who you are
A Bm
To take thе credit would be a bridge too far
G Em A A4 A5
Seems you mostly got this down on your own

[Chorus]
G A Bm
The secret I probably should not tell
Bm G F#m
Is that I still feel like a kid myself
Em A
Been in over my head since we brought you home
Bm G
Biggest thing that I’ve learned is what I don’t know
G
But I’m your dad
A
I know that
A D D4 D
And I love you to the creek and back
G
I’m your dad
A
Yes I know that

And I love you to the creek and back

[Outro]
