Man Of The House Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][Bm][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Had to [D]grow
up before I started shavin'
More worried about mama than
running and playing out[G]side
She didn't sleep at night,
I guess neither did [D]I

[Verse 2]
[D]
I don't know how she did what she did,
but she did it
Knew someone was missing,
but for her, I hid it
She had [G]enough on her plate

[Verse 3]
So I tried to take his place
[D]Be strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
She won't [G]tell you but
she needs you
And you can't let her down
So [D]hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when you feel like sand
[G]It turns out all I was back
then is all that I am now
Just a boy [D]trying to be the man
of the house
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Someone new shows
up with some flowers
They go out for a couple of hours
[G]Home alones fun, for any other kid
But I couldn't watch her
go through it again
[A]Trying to fill shoes that ain't my size
But the [G]world don't give a damn 'bout
the age of the dog in the fight

[Verse 5]
So be [D]strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
She can't [G]tell you but she needs you
And you can't let her down
[D]Hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when [F#m]you feel like sand
It [G]turns out all I was back
then is all that I am now
Just a boy [D]trying to be the man
of the [G]house
Just a boy [D]trying to be the man
of the house
[G]

[Verse 6]
Mar[D]ried my girl and we
had a few babies
Trying to give them the childhood
life never gave me
[G]Know they probably can't tell

[Verse 7]
But I am still tellin' myself
[D]Be strong when you ain't
And hold on when you can't
They can't [G]tell you but
they need you
And you can't let them down
So [D]hide those shakin' hands
Be a rock when [F#m]you feel like sand
[D]It turn[G] s out all I was back
then is all that I am now
Just a boy [D]trying to be
the man of the [G]house
Just a boy [D]trying to be
the man of the [G]house
Still [D]a boy trying to be
the man of the [G]house
