Dalton Dover - I Wouldn’t Be Here

[Intro]
E A E A

[Verse 1]
E
Every little league game, every middle school play
A E
Every time I scraped my knee
E
Every double shift, every penny pinched
A E
Just for my brother and sister and me
C#m B
My first song came out all wrong
A
But you told me it was good
C#m B
I’m standing now to a sold-out crowd
A
Just like you said I would

[Chorus]
A
Every time I hit rock bottom
E B
You picked me right back up
A
When I felt like I was nothing
E B
You said, “Son, you’re more than enough”
C#m B A E
And I’m the man I am today because you cared
F#m7 B E A
And I wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t been there

[Verse 2]
E
Learned to drive, to tie a tie
A E
And how to bait a hook
E
That all the answers to my questions
A E
Could be found in the good book
C#m B
Taught me patience is a virtue
A
And to learn from my mistakes
C#m B
That the love of a good woman
A B
Is worth more than money in the bank

[Chorus]
A
Every time I hit rock bottom
E B
You picked me right back up
A
When I felt like I was nothing
E B
You said, “Son, you’re more than enough”
C#m B A E
And I’m the man I am today because you cared
F#m7 B A B
And I wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t been there, oh yeah
A B
If you hadn’t been there

[Out-Chorus]
A
Every time I hit rock bottom
E B
You picked me right back up
A
When I felt like I was nothing
E B
You said, “Son, you’re more than enough”
C#m B A
And I’m the man I am today because you cared
B C#m B A E
It took a heart of gold and a million momma’s prayers
F#m B
I wouldn’t be here, oh, I wouldn’t be here
E A
If you hadn’t been there
E A
Oh, if you hadn’t been there
