[VERSE]
C            F                    C
It seems like it was only yesterday
C                F             Em
I was just a boy yearning to run
F                       C
You always seemed so tall
G                  Am
Your uniform and all
Dm     Cadd9     F                        G
It’s funny how some things they never change

C                    F                   C
But now that I’m a man and I’m fully grown
C                   F                  Em
I stand and face the world all by myself
F                        C
If what they said is true
G                    Am
That I’m a lot like you
Dm      Cadd9     F                       G
You know we’re sharing more than just a name

[CHORUS]
G                  Am                 C
Cause every time I look into the mirror
F                      C
I see you standing there

G             Am      C            F
Every day I realize you’re more a part of me
G            Am         C
I am but a face among the crowd
  G                      Am
I hope I’ve made you proud
  F                 C                    F
I hope I’m half the man you thought I’d be

[VERSE]
C                    F                   C
I’ve been working hard most every night
C                 F                    Em
Singing all my songs under the spotlight
F                        C
Sometimes it gets so rough
G                   Am
I feel I’ve had enough
Dm   Cadd9    F                    G
But I recall the words you spoke to me

C                 F                  C
If you can keep your head and carry on
C                 F                            Em
If you can share your strength with those who need
F                           C
If you can watch it all cave in
G                    Am
And up and build again
Dm    Cadd9     F              G
Then you’ll be a man I do believe

[CHORUS]
G                  Am                  C
Cause every time I look into the mirror
F                     C
I see you standing there
G                 Am      C               F
Every day I realize you’re more a part of me
G           Am                C
I am but a face among the crowd
  G                   Am
I hope I’ve made you proud
  F              C                   F
I hope I’m half the man you thought I’d be

[VERSE]

F              Am             C
I remember standing next to you
F                C
See how tall I grew
C              Am              F               G
I remember falling down and scraping up my knee
G            Am               C
I am but a face among the crowd
G                       Am
I hope I’ve made you proud
F                  C               F
I hope I’m half the man you taught me to be
