 A5  F#5  E5  D5 intro guitar part

VERSE 1:

 A5            F#5             E#5            D5
Only two more days until your birthday yesterday was mine.
 A5                F#5                   E5
You'll be turning five I know what it's like growing up
               D5
Without your father in your life


PRE CHORUS:

F#5       E5        A5       D5
so I pretend I'm doing all I can
      F#5                  E5              D5
and I hope someday you'll find it in your heart
F#5       E5      A5        D5
to understand why I'm not around
           F#5          E5            D5
and forgive me for not being in your life

CHORUS:

            A5                             F#5
I remember waiting for you to come remember waiting for you to call
         E5                              D5
remember waiting there to find nothing at all
            A5                              F#5
I remember waiting for you to come remember waiting for you to call
  E5                            D5
Waiting there to fin nothing at all.

   A5   F#5   E5   D5   A5

Verse 2:
 A5     F#5                          E5
Maybe someday you'll really get to know me
                      D5           A5
Not just from letters read to you
                  F#5                 E5
I pray I get the chance to make it up to you
                    D5
We've got a lot of catching up to do.
