Verse 1:
Bb              Gm               F
  Only two more days, until your birthday
      Eb
Yesterday was mine
Bb                  Gm                    F
  You'll be turning five I know what it's like
                        Eb
growing up without your father in your life

Refrain:
Gm      F        Bb          Eb
So I pretend I'm doing all I can
      Gm                  F               Eb
And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart
Gm       F        Bb       Eb
To understand Why I'm not around
       Gm              F             Eb
And forgive me for not being in your life

           Bb
I remember waiting For you to come
         Gm
Remember waiting For you to call

Remember waiting there to find nothing at all

not just the letters read to you
Bb                 Gm                      F
  I pray I get the chance To make it up to you

We got a lot of catching up to do
