[Intro]
E A E A
[Verse 1]
E
Every little league game, every middle school play
A E
Every time I scraped my knee
E
Every double shift, every penny pinched
A E
Just for my brother and sister and me
C#m B
My first song came out all wrong
A
But you told me it was good
C#m B
I'm standing now to a sold-out crowd
A
Just like you said I would
[Chorus]
A
Every time I hit rock bottom
E B
You picked me right back up
A
When I felt like I was nothing
E B
You said, "Son, you're more than enough"
C#m B A E
And I'm the man I am today because you cared
F#m7 B E A
And I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there
[Verse 2]
E
Learned to drive, to tie a tie
A E
And how to bait a hook
E
That all the answers to my questions
A E
Could be found in the good book
C#m B
Taught me patience is a virtue
A
And to learn from my mistakes
C#m B
That the love of a good woman
A B
Is worth more than money in the bank
[Chorus]
A
Every time I hit rock bottom
E B
You picked me right back up
A
When I felt like I was nothing
E B
You said, "Son, you're more than enough"
C#m B A E
And I'm the man I am today because you cared
F#m7 B A B
And I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there, oh yeah
A B
If you hadn't been there
[Out-Chorus]
A
Every time I hit rock bottom
E B
You picked me right back up
A
When I felt like I was nothing
E B
You said, "Son, you're more than enough"
C#m B A
And I'm the man I am today because you cared
B C#m B A E
It took a heart of gold and a million momma's prayers
F#m B
I wouldn't be here, oh, I wouldn't be here
E A
If you hadn't been there
E A
Oh, if you hadn't been there
[Verse 1]
Every little league game, every middle school play, every time I scraped my knee
Every double shift, every penny pinched just for my brother and sister and me
My first song came out all wrong, you told me it was good
I'm standing now to a sold-out crowd, just like you said I would
[Chorus]
Every time I hit rock bottom you picked me right back up
When I felt like I was nothin' you said, "Son you're more than enough”
And I'm the man I am today 'cause you cared
And I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there
[Verse 2]
Learned to drive, to tie a tie, and how to bait a hook
That all the answers to my questions could be found in the good book
You taught me patience is a virtue and to learn from my mistakes
That the love of a good woman, is worth more than money in the bank
[Chorus]
Every time I hit rock bottom you picked me right back up
When I felt like I was nothin' you said, "Son you're more than enough”
And I'm the man I am today 'cause you cared
And I wouldn't be here if you hadn't been there
[Bridge]
Oh-yeah
If you hadn't been there
[Chorus]
Every time I hit rock bottom you picked me right back up
When I felt like I was nothin' you said, "Son you're more than enough”
I'm the man I am today 'cause you cared
It took a heart of gold and a million Momma’s prayers
I wouldn't be here, oh, I wouldn't be here
If you hadn't been there
Oh, if you hadn't been there
