[Intro] G [Verse] G I spent my twenties D Pedal down chasing Em Bright lights, dollar signs, every night thinking I’d C Climb til I made it G But a trophy on the mantle and some honey in your cup D Don’t even hold a candle to the feeling that comes Em When that doc says dad and he’s talking to you and D Just like that your dreams come true [Chorus] G I’ve got the whole world in my hands Bm She don’t know how she changed this man C She’s got my heart and I don’t want it back D I know this part goes by too fast C D I’ll hold on long as I can While I’ve got the C D G whole world in my hands [Verse] G It’s hard to believe it D/F# But soon I know Em7 It’ll be riding bikes, story time, say goodnight C Daddy I love you the most G Yeah one day I’ll be her daddy and the next I'll be dad D/F# I’ll be thinking about now, wishing I could go back Em But you can’t hit the breaks, can’t slow down the years C So I won’t miss a moment like this one here [Chorus] G I’ve got the whole world in my hands Bm She don’t know how she changed this man C She’s got my heart and I don’t want it back D I know this part goes by too fast C D I’ll hold on long as I can While I’ve got the C D G whole world in my hands [Bridge] Em Yeah I know one day that there’s gonna be some other man C Who will change her last name, be her new superman Am And I’ll give her away and try not to cry C But for one last dance, D one last time [Out-Chorus] G I’ve got the whole world in my hands Bm She don’t know how she changed this man C She’s got my heart and I don’t want it back D I know this part goes by too fast C D I’ll hold on long as I can While I’ve got the C D G whole world in my hands
