[INTRO]
G/B C G/B  C 

[VERSE 1]
         G/B
He never hit me with his fists 
                C
But he did some damage with his words 
       G/B
My old man didn’t know no better 
            C
Just passed down what he thought worked 
  G/B
I tried and tried to break his pride
    C
And be the apple of his eye 
    Em                              C
And maybe I was loved, but he never let me know I was 

[CHORUS 1]
          G
Making my father proud
                  Bm
Looks a whole lot different now 
                Em              D
Ain’t about the man that I call dad
                  C
Who I could never figure out 
           G
It’s about knowing who’s son I really am 
    Bm
And knowing he’s my biggest fan 
       Em               D                C
It’s a kind a love that makes my world revolve around 
          G             C
Making my father proud 


[VERSE 2]
             G/B
Gotta a long road of live and learns 
       C
In the rear view of my life 
              G/B
But somewhere in the crash and burns 
                C
And those wrong turns I saw the light 
   G/B              
He kissed my face, I felt his Grace 
   C
He said my child you found your place 
  Em                              C
I fell down on my knees, I looked up and I could see 

[CHORUS 2]
          G
Making my father proud
                  Bm
Looks a whole lot different now 
                Em              D
Ain’t about the man that I call dad
                  C
Who I could never figure out 
           G
It’s about knowing who’s son I really am 
    Bm
And knowing he’s my biggest fan 
       Em               D                C
It’s a kind a love that makes my world revolve around 
          G             C            G/B           C
Making my father proud     making my father proud

[BRIDGE]
Am                         G           D
Me and my old man, finally settled old scores 
      Am                             G         D
Cause pleasing this world just don’t matter no more 
C
   Now all I’m living for

[CHORUS 3]
          G             Bm
Making my father proud
                Em              D
Ain’t about the man that I call dad
                  C
Who I could never figure out 
           G
It’s about knowing who’s son I really am 
    Bm
And knowing he’s my biggest fan 
       Em               D                C
It’s a kind a love that makes my world revolve around 
          G             C            G/B           C
Making my father proud     making my father proud
            G            C   G/B    C
That’s what life’s about
