INTRO 
 
 
F#m7 
 Lately I've been noticing 
          D                   F#m7   D 
I say the same things he used to say, 
F#m7                    D                    F#m7  D 
 And I even find myself acting the very same way. 
         E  
I tap my fingers on the table to the rhythm in my soul, 
      D(add9) 
And I jingle the car keys when I'm ready to go. 
       E 
When I look in the mirror, he's right there in my eyes, 
        D(add9) 
Starin' back at me and I realize: 
 
 
 
            A                   E/Ab 
The older I get, the more I can see, 
            F#m                    D 
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. 
       A                    E/Ab 
And he did the best that he could, 
           F#m              D          Bm7 
And I only hope when I have my own family 
     A/Db        D            E                    F#m7  D  F#m7  D 
That every day I see a little more of my father in me. 
 
 
 
           F#m7                                D                  F#m7  D 
There were times I thought he was bein' just a little bit hard on me. 
          F#m7 
But now I understand he was makin' me  
  D                           F#m7      D 
Become the man he knew that I could be. 
        E 
In everything he ever did, he always did with love, 
        D(add9) 
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son. 
          E 
When somebody says 'I hope I get to meet your dad', 
       D(add9) 
I just smile and say 'You already have'. 
 
 
 
            A                   E/Ab 
The older I get, the more I can see, 
            F#m                    D 
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. 
       A                    E/Ab 
And he did the best that he could, 
           F#m              D          Bm7 
And I only hope when I have my own family 
     A/Db        D            E                    D  E/D  D 
That every day I see a little more of my father in me. 
           A                  E/Ab  
He's in my eyes, my heart, my soul, 
             F#m 
My hands, my pride, 
           D                                 A 
And when I feel alone and I think I can't go on, 
                   E/Ab             F#m   D  F#m7 
I hear him sayin' 'Son, you'll be alright, 
     E                  F#m7 
Everything's gonna be alright'.

            A                   E/Ab 
The older I get, the more I can see, 
            F#m                    D 
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me. 
       A                    E/Ab 
And he did the best that he could, 
           F#m              D          Bm7 
And I only hope when I have my own family 
     A/Db        D         E          D 
That every day I see, oh I hope I see, 
       A/Db        D            E                    F#m7  D  F#m7  
I hope every day I see a little more of my father in me. 
         D                    F#m7  D 
A little more of my father in me. 
       F#m7       D      F#m7 
I hope everyday I see in me, 
   D 
In me, 
   F#m7 
In me, 
       D          F#m7 
I hope everyday I see, 
         D                  F#m7  D(add9) 
A little more of my father in me.
