Intro Chords:
               



                   /
I never once backed down from a punch
                              
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
                               
Well I found out fast, a bully’s just that
                              
And you’ve got to stand up to him
                      /
So I didn't cry when I got a black eye
                       
As bad as it hurt I just grinned
                                            
But when tough little boys grow up to  be   Dads
                        
They turn into big babies again
                          
Scared me to death when you took your first steps
                                     /C#
Well I'd fall everytime you fell down
                                          
And your first day of school, I cried like a fool
                                
And I followed your school bus to town


Chorus:
                      /
Well I didn't cry when old Yeller died 
                          
At least not in front of my friends
                                         
But when tough little boys grow up to  be   Dads
                         
They turn into big babies again

             

 
                           /
Well I'm a grown man but as strong as I am
                             
Well sometimes it's hard to believe
                                 
How one little girl with little blonde curls
                  
Can totally terrify me 
                      /
If you were to ask, my wife would just laugh
                          
She'd say I know all about men
                                      
How tough little boys grow up to  be   Dads
                        
They turn into big babies again
                       
Well I know one day I'll give you away 
                                
And I'm gonna to stand there and smile
                              
But when I get home and I'm all alone
                              
Then I'll sit in your room for awhile


Chorus:
                      /
Well I didn't cry when old Yeller died 
                          
At least not in front of my friends
                                           
But when tough little boys grow up to  be   Dads
                        
They turn into big babies again


                                   
When tough little boys grow up to  be   Dads
                               
They turn into big babies again
