G
You were a sub-standard dad
        C
But the only one I had
          G                                   C
I grew up hearing your evil scheming down the hall.
C
But when I look at this thing
   G
It makes me wanna sing
             C            D         G
Maybe you’re not so bad a dad after all.


            Em
At my first ever swim meet,
                  B7
You stepped on the other team’s feet.
        Em                                   Em (hold)
At my recital you clapped louder than you should.


             C
But when you taught me how to drive
            G
We actually made it home alive
             C                                    D
I guess it’s possible not every part of you isn’t good.


          Em
I know at times I would cringe
              B7
Like when you wore all that fringe
                  Em                                   Em (hold)
And when you went out of your way to catch that foul ball.


                  C             D
But this piece of plastic in my hand
         G             C
Makes me finally understand
             G
Maybe you’re not so bad a dad
C            D         G
Not so bad a dad after all.
