[Verse 1]

           Dm7
When I was younger, I would argue with my dad
C
Tell him that I hated him when I was talking back
Am
Blocked his number, can't believe that I did that
G
Oh, I didn't have a reason, wish that I could take it back
Dm7 C
But as the years went by, he was always by my side
Am G
To wipe all of the tears I cried

[Chorus]

Dm7                  Am
Now that I'm older, realize my father
C Am G
Was doing the best he could do
Dm7 Am
Told him, "One day, I'll have a son or a daughter
C Am G
And when I'm a father too
C
I hope that I am just like you"

[Post-Chorus]

                           Dm7
I hope that I am just like you
Am
I hope that I am just like you
C G
I hope that I am just like you

[Verse 2]

      Dm7
Now I realize that he had struggles of his own
C
How could I be so selfish, oh, how could I block his phone?
Am
I remember when my father lost his job
G
He held our home together for the family, he was strong
Dm7 C
But as the years went by, he was always by my side
Am G
To wipe all of the tears I cried

[Chorus]

Dm7                  Am
Now that I'm older, realize my father
C Am G
Was doing the best he could do
Dm7 Am
Told him, "One day, I'll have a son or a daughter
C Am G
And when I'm a father too
C
I hope that I am just like you"

I hope that I am just like you

I hope that I am just like you
