Walker Hayes - if father time had a daughter: chords

 D                    A
Saturday sleep late, bed head smile
 D                            F#m
Daddy daughter date down the cereal aisle
 G                          D
Shoppin' cart ride with my Goldilocks
 G                            A
Little arms wrapped โ€˜round a Lucky Charms box
       D                A
Right there, that's my world

        D
Father time must've never had a little girl
    G                            D
I know Iโ€™m gonna blink and Iโ€™m gonna be a mess
           G
When that Cinderella shirt
       A
Is a wedding dress

Chorus:
                          D                     A
And they gonna play that song, it's so bitter sweet
               Bm                      F#m
And I rememebr her in her little bare feet
 G                         D
Dancing on the toes of my boots
       G
I'ma try not to cry, but shoot
 A                              D
Y'all gonna have to give me a break
                  A
If you see a few tears
                     Bm
These are just some really, really,
             F#m
really good years
       G                        D
I bet daddy's girls would stay little
              G
A little bit longer
A                     D
If father time had a daughter

Y'all, I can't wait to meet who she becomes
Yeah, I know, she can't stay forever young
Hell, I pray for the guy that gets to lift that veil
But I'm even gonna miss letting her paint my nails

Chorus:
When they play that song, it's so bittersweet
(So bittersweet)
And I'll remember her in her little bare feet
(In her little bare feet)
Dancing on her toes on my boots
I'ma try not to cry, but shoot
Y'all gon' have to give me a break
if you see a few tears (If you see a few tears)
These are just some really, really,
really good years (Just some really good years)
I bet daddy's girls would stay little
a little bit longer
If Father Time had a daughter

 A                Bm
Yeah, slow it on down, down, down
 F#m             G
Have mercy on a girl dad
 D                      G
Yeah, I know before I know it, I'ma turn around
                A
And it's gonna hurt bad

Chorus:
When they play that song, it's so bittersweet
And I'll remember her in her little bare feet
Dancing on her toes on my boots
I'ma try not to cry, but shoot
Y'all gon' have to give me a break
if you see a few tears (If you see a few tears)
These are just some some really,
really, really good years
(Just some really good years)
I bet daddy's girls would stay little
a little bit longer
If Father Time had a daughter
