G
Sub-standard Dad
Am                 D7
But the only one I had
          G
I grew up hearing your evil scheming
         E        Em
down the hall.
           C             C#dim
But when I look at this thing
   G              E7
It makes me wanna sing
             A7            D7
Maybe you're not so bad a dad after
G      B7
all.
            Em
At my first ever swim meet,
                   B7
You stepped on the other team's feet.
      Em                  B
At my recital you clapped louder than
     Em
you should.
             C                A
But when you taught me how to drive
            E            E7
We actually made it home alive
             A7
I guess it's possible not every part of
          D      B7
you isn't good.
          Em
I know at times I would cringe
              B             B7
Like when you wore all that fringe
             Em
And when you went out of your way to
B7              Em
catch that foul ball

(Booing)

                  C             Am
But this piece of plastic in my hand
         G             E7
Makes me finally understand

             A7
Maybe you're not so bad a dad
D7                     G     Cm    G
Not so bad a dad after all...
