[Intro]
C C Em Em

[Verse 1]
    G
The scars that you left
 behind with me
        Em
Left me so messed up,
   D                     G
 I don't know how to be free
        G
When you left, you
                 G
took my security
            Em
Now I can't give my
           D               G
 heart away, it's too scary
G
Even if she shows me,
              G
 she trusts me
        Em
I can't trust enough to
  D                    G
 know she won't hurt me

[Chorus]
         G              G
Like you did, like you did
         Em D G
Like you did, Daddy

[Verse 2]
G
Did you know I've
               G
 been to therapy?
    Em           D
Abandonment's the word
             G
she used for me
       G
But at least I've named
                G
 the thing that hinders me
          Em
Now I can finally find
   D              G
 a way to live in peace
G
So no more excuses
 here from me
     Em           D
It's time to move on
            G
 and let you be

[Chorus]
         G              G
Like you did, like you did
         Em D G
Like you did, Daddy

[Verse 3]
D
Did you know I found
               D
the love of my life?
Am
Did you know I lost
               C
the love of my life?
D
Did you know I have
            D
a son in my life?
Am
Did you know we almost
    G    C
lost his life?

   D
And did you know
                 D
 I remember the day
Am
Remember the year
       C
 and my age?
D
Did you know I
                 D
remember Mom's face?
Am
The way she cried will
           C
never be erased

[Chorus]
       Em            G
From my head, from my head
       C  D   Em
From my head, Daddy

Em D  G
Oh-oh-oh

                 Am
Daddy, don't you worry,
             C
 we all on a journey

Daddy, don't you
