[Intro]
F Am Bb Dm Am Bb C (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
F                 Am          Bb
Well, hello, it's been such a long day
C          Dm             Am         Bb                  C
I got your address from a cousin who said you might live here
F            Am              Bb
I don't know exactly why I'm writing
C                     Dm                Am              Bb              C
I guess I want you to know that I still think about you after all these years
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                     Am
And I have got so many questions
Bb              F           Bb              C
Some are rather serious and others just for fun
Dm                 Am
I just want you to listen
Bb                     F               Bb              C
And then I'll leave it up to you what happens when I'm done
A        Dm               F            Bb
I want a father, but I'll settle for a friend
 
 
[Verse 2]
C           F               Am                      Bb
What was my mother like way back when you first met her?
C           Dm           Am        Bb            C
Were you in love? And if so, where did it all go wrong?
       F            Am          Bb
Do you remember any Christmases together?
C       Dm               Am                   Bb                   C
Did you dance around the living room when she played your favorite song?
Dm                 Am
Well, I just saw a picture
Bb                    F                    Bb              C
You were holding up a fishing pole, it was just out of my reach
Dm                        Am
And who's that man in the pickup?
Bb                  F                 Bb               C
Do you remember any details from that day spent on the beach?
       F             Am               Bb
Do you bite your lip whenever you are thinking?
C        Dm             Am              Bb               C
Somebody told me once I did that and it reminded them of you
F                Am                Bb
Lately it's been hard to keep from drinking
C               Dm          Am           Bb             C
Well, I hear it runs in the family and I wonder if it's true
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                       Am
Well, I have got so many questions
Bb                        F           Bb              C
Did you think that I'd be better off not having you around?
Dm                                   Am
Well, I just wanna know where I come from
Bb                 F              Bb         C
And why you had to drive away and never turn around
                 Dm               F            Bb
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
 
F Am Bb Dm Am Bb C (x2)
 
Dm                   Am
I just wanna forgive you
Bb                          F           Bb         C
Well, I'm sure you had your reasons for leaving me behind
      Dm                       Am
Well, tell me and I'll believe you
Bb                       F            Bb         C
I just wanna get to know you while we still have time
           Dm               F            Bb
I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
        C        Dm               F            Bb
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
        C        Dm               F            Bb
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
        C        Dm               F            Bb
Well, I wanted a father, but I'll settle for a friend
