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 the sky


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
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
