The Man I Used to Be Chords by: Justin Makeig (makeig@nwu.edu) Em D I hope you remember me Am I was your daddy once Em D Am Wearing the sailor cap and dirty nails Em D Am To you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantlepiece Em D Am Who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail G Into battle D And in your shadow C D#dim7 Em Em/D# Your daddy loves you still Em/D Em/C# C G D/F# Yes I do I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast And turn into the man I used to be But I hope you have more sense than I in matters such as these Medals don't mean shit when a family is so lost at sea Into battle And in your shadow Your daddy loves you still Yes he does Yes he does E D I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched you E D But they all fade away must be a bad memory
