Proud
By: Ben Fuller
[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
