[Intro] 
Bb
[Verse]
I gGmuess its human nature, tuD#ggin' at my sleeve
That gBbets me thinking too much, 'bout wFhat I'm supposed to be
GmI keep aiming higher, like evD#erybody else
FBborgetting what I need to be, is jFust to be myBbself
[Chorus] 
BbIt's not like evD#erybody's waiting to sBbee if I'll go far
It's not like evD#erybody's watching, though sometFimes I think they are
I don't hD#ave to change the world, BbI don't have to walk on wGmater
All I hBbave to Fbe is my daughter's fBbather
[Verse]
She's jGmust like her mama, wD#hen it comes to me
Couldn't fBbool her if i tried to, to hFer I'll always be
GmNothing more than daddy and wD#hen she says that word
It a woBbnderful reminder of wFhy I'm on this eaBbrth
[Chorus] 
BbIt's not like evD#erybody's waiting to sBbee if I'll go far
It's not like evD#erybody's watching, though sometFimes I think they are
I don't hD#ave to change the world, BbI don't have to walk on wGmater
All I hBbave to Fbe is my daughter's fBbather
[Bridge]
A Gmman is often measured by wD#hat he does in life
GmIt made mine worth living when I reFalized
[Chorus] 
BbIt's not like evD#erybody's waiting to sBbee if I'll go far
It's not like evD#erybody's watching, though sometFimes I think they are

All I hBbave to Fbe is my daughter's fBbather
