Capo 3rd fret
[Verse]
  GI never told you Dhow 
How much you mean to Emme
What in the world I would Cdo
I just never made it through to Emyou
DOh, to Cyou
There goes a Gday, there goes a week
So many Dgoals I had to reach
The more I Emdid the less I cared
The more I Cmissed the love you shared
If life is a Gsong, somehow it's sad
I don't know the Dwords without you Dad
You've been on my Emmind all the time
And i'm missing Cyou
Home used to Embe just some Dwalls
That CI knew
But the truth is that Emhome means Dnothing
WithoCut you
[Chorus]
So I gotta say:G  
Won't you grow-o-o-o-olDd
Cause it's you-o-o-o-Emo
That I wa-a-ant tCo last
As long as I need you hGere
And I'm be-e-egging Dyou
Daddy please do-o-on't Emleave
You once told your little Cgirl
You're unbreakable
[Verse]
There goes a Gmonth
There goes a year
So many Dthings out there I fear
You helped me Emup when I was down
You taught me Chow to stand my ground
This life is a Gsong, happy and sad
And I don't want to Dsing without you Dad
Maybe it's Emselfish when I say these words
But i'm missing Cyou
Home used to Embe just some Dwalls
That CI knew
But the truth is that Emhome means Dnothing
WithoCut you
[Chorus]
So I gotta say:G  
Won't you grow-o-o-o-olDd
Cause it's you-o-o-o-Emo
That I wa-a-ant tCo last
As long as I need you hGere
And I'm be-e-egging Dyou
Daddy please do-o-on't Emleave
You once told your little Cgirl
You're unbreakable
GOh, ohoDoho
EmOh, ohohoC  
The truth is my Emhome means Dnothing

Capo 3rd fret

[Verse]

G D

I never told you how

How much you mean to me

What in the world I would do

I just never made it through to you

D C

Oh, to you

There goes a day, there goes a week

So many goals I had to reach

The more I did the less I cared

The more I missed the love you shared

If life is a song, somehow it's sad

I don't know the words without you Dad

You've been on my mind all the time

And i'm missing you

Em D

Home used to be just some walls

That I knew

Em D

But the truth is that home means nothing

Without you

[Chorus]

So I gotta say:

Won't you grow-o-o-o-old

Cause it's you-o-o-o-o

That I wa-a-ant to last

As long as I need you here

And I'm be-e-egging you

Daddy please do-o-on't leave

You once told your little girl

You're unbreakable

[Verse]

There goes a month

There goes a year

So many things out there I fear

You helped me up when I was down

You taught me how to stand my ground

This life is a song, happy and sad

And I don't want to sing without you Dad

Maybe it's selfish when I say these words

But i'm missing you

Em D

Home used to be just some walls

That I knew

Em D

But the truth is that home means nothing

Without you

[Chorus]

So I gotta say:

Won't you grow-o-o-o-old

Cause it's you-o-o-o-o

That I wa-a-ant to last

As long as I need you here

And I'm be-e-egging you

Daddy please do-o-on't leave

You once told your little girl

You're unbreakable

G D

Oh, ohooho

Em C

Oh, ohoho

Em D

The truth is my home means nothing

Without you
