INTRO:
   G

VERSE:
           G
She won't let me help her
tie her shoes
"No, daddy, I can do it myself"
     Em
When she don't get her way
She'll cross her arms and
hold her breath
         C
She's a handful, she's a mess
Digging in the dirt in
her princess dress
          Am7
Goes from tiny tornado
               Am  D
To sleeping on my chest

CHORUS:
               C        D
God bless the boy that melts
the way I do
           G                D
When she smiles at him the first time
          Em
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
          Am7
Give him patiеnce and kindness
       D
And a heart that's full of hеr
         G
And the sense to know
      D          Em
just what she's worth
        Am7
'Cause ain't nobody ever
          Am     D
gonna be good enough
        C
So God bless the boy
       D        G
she decides to love
   G

VERSE:
            G
I hope his daddy's teaching him
How to shake my hand and look
me in the eye
     Em7
And taking him fishing and
busting his butt
     Em
When he ain't acting right
                C
I hope he's in every prayer
his momma prays
And learns to work for
every dollar he gets
    Am7
And has a sense of humor
                               D
Gonna need it for a girl like this

CHORUS:
               C        D
God bless the boy that melts
the way I do
           G                D
When she smiles at him the first time
          Em
He'll be done, oh, he'll be through
          Am7
Give him patiеnce and kindness
       D
And a heart that's full of hеr
         G
And the sense to know
      D          Em7
just what she's worth
        Am7
'Cause ain't nobody ever
                 D
gonna be good enough
        C
So God bless the boy
       D        G  G  Em7  C  D
