Capo: 1st fret
INTRO:
G C D Em D C D
VERSE:
C
Well I wasn't there to see the first steps
D
Or hear the first word
Em
Or watch the doctor bring them in
C D
And there's a lot of time I missed out on
Em C D
I'll never get back again
CHORUS:
G
Call it stepping up, or stepping in
C D Em
But step by step my world went spinning around
D C D
That little heart and angel face
G
Theyre growing up, and I'm growing old
C D
Making memories we'll always hold
Em D C D
But I thank God for sending them my way
Em D
'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA
C
That made that precious child
Em D C
But it don't take rocket science to figure out
G C D
They're my life
VERSE:
One day they'll have their
C D
First kiss, their first dance
Em
And their I turned sixteen car
C D
And I'll be right there when they walk in hurt
Em7
From their first broken heart
C D
And I'm longing for those moments
Em7
Along with all the ones I missed
C G
I never knew this was how life would turn out
Am7 D
But I'm sure glad it did
CHORUS:
G
Call it stepping up, or stepping in
C D Em
But step by step my world went spinning around
D C D
That little heart and angel face
G
Theyre growing up, and I'm growing old
C D
Making memories we'll always hold
Em D C D
But I thank God for sending them my way
Em D
'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA
C
That made that precious child
Em D C
But it don't take rocket science to figure out
C G D C D
That they're my liiiiiiiife
BREAK:
Em D
One day they'll look back through all these years
C
And I pray that they'll find
Em D
That even though they didn't come from me
C C
They know that they're mine
CHORUS:
G
Call it stepping up, or stepping in
C D Em
But step by step my world went spinning around
D C Em D
That little heart and angel face
G
Theyre growing up, and I'm growing old
C D
Making memories we'll always hold
Em D C D
But I thank God for sending them my way
Em D
'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA
C
That made that precious child
Em D C
But it don't take rocket science to figure out
G C D G
They're my life
[verse 1]
well, i wasn’t there to see the first steps or hear the first word
or watch the doctor bring them in
and there’s a lot of time i missed out on
i’ll never get back again
[chorus]
call it steppin’ up or steppin’ in
but step by step, my world went spinnin’
around that little heart and angel face
they’re growin’ up and i’m growin’ old
makin’ memories we’ll always hold
but i thank god for sendin’ them my way
’cause it ain’t my blood or dna
that made that precious child
but it don’t take rocket science to figure out
they’re my life
[verse 2]
one day, they’ll have their first kiss and their first dance
and their i+turned+sixteen car
and i’ll be right there whey they walk in hurt
from their first broken heart
and i’m longin’ for those moments
along with all the ones i missed
i never knew this was how life would turn out
but i’m sure glad it did
[chorus]
call it steppin’ up or steppin’ in
but step by step, my world went spinnin’
around that little heart and angel face
they’re growin’ up and i’m growin’ old
makin’ memories we’ll always hold
but i thank god for sendin’ them my way
’cause it ain’t my blood or dna
that made that precious child
but it don’t take rocket science to figure out
that they’re my life
[bridge]
one day, they’ll look back through all these years
and i pray that they’ll find
that even though they didn’t come from me
they know that they’re mine
[chorus]
call it steppin’ up or steppin’ in
but step by step, my world went spinnin’
around that little heart and angel face
they’re growin’ up and i’m growin’ old
makin’ memories we’ll always hold
but i thank god for sendin’ them my way
’cause it ain’t my blood or dna
that made that precious child
but it don’t take rocket science to figure out
that they’re my life
