Version 1[Intro] E [Verse 1] E A The nurse helped us buckle the seat in the car E F# B And they sent us on our way, I drove home so slow E A We had no instructions, the first days were hard E B E But there's things about babies a woman just knows [Pre-Chorus] E A E F# B Three in the morning I lay my hand over your heart just to know you were safe in your sleep E A E B E E7 When you started walking I fight back the urge to stay right there beside you and keep you on your feet [Chorus] A E Being your daddy comes natural A E The roses just know how to grow A E A It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going E B C#m The hard part is letting you go E B E The hard part is letting you go [Pre-Chorus] E A E F# B It didn't take long to see you got the best of me and your momma's merciful heart in your eyes E A E B E E7 And helping her raise you has taught me to see through the great fog of loneliness, the devil's disguise [Chorus] A E Being your daddy comes natural A E The roses just know how to grow A E A It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going E B C#m But the hard part is letting you go E B E The hard part is letting you go [Verse 2] E A And now you've decided to be someone's wife E F# B And we'll walk down the aisle and I'll give you away E A I wish I could walk with them back through your life to see E B E Every last minute of every last day E A To hear your first words and to feel your first heartbreak E F# B To sing you to sleep when you're scared of the dark E A E B E E7 The best I can do is to let myself trust that you know who'll be strong enough to carry your heart [Chorus] A E Being your daddy comes natural A E The roses just know how to grow A E A It's easy to see that you'll get where you're going E B C#m But the hard part is letting you go E B E The hard part is letting you go
