[Intro]
N.C.
One, two, three, four

[Verse]
C G
Saturday sleep late, bed head smile
C Em G
Daddy daughter date down the cereal aisle
F C
Shoppin’ cart ride with my Goldilocks
F G
Little arms wrapped ‘round a Lucky Charms box
C G
Right there, that’s my world

[Verse]
C
Father time must’ve never had a little girl
F C
I know I’m gonna blink and I’m gonna be a mess
F
When that Cinderella shirt

G
Is a wedding dress

[Chorus]
C G
And they gonna play that song, it’s so bitter sweet
Am Em
And I rememebr her in her little bare feet
F C
Dancing on the toes of my boots
F
I’ma try not to cry, but shoot

G C
Y’all gonna have to give me a break
G
If you see a few tears
Am Em
These are just some really, really, really good years
F C
I bet daddy’s girls would stay little
F
A little bit longer

G C
If father time had a daughter

[Instrumental]
G Am Em F C F G

[Verse]
C G
Y’all, I can’t wait to meet who she becomes
C Em
Yeah, I know she can’t stay forever young
F C
Hell I pray for the guy who gets to lift that veil
F G
But I’m even gonna miss letting her paint my nails

[Chorus]
C G
When they play that song, it’s so bitter sweet
Am Em
And I’ll remember her in her little bare feet (in her little bare feet)
F C
Dancing on the toes of my boots

F
I’ma try not to cry, but shoot
G C
Y’all gonna have have to give me a break

If you see a few tears

And it’s gonna hurt bad

[Chorus]
