INTRO:D

D            D                          G
He was sitting beside me in the passager seat

        D                                               A7
As I looked through the windshield at the quiet little  street

              D                         G
He was smiling so proud as he gave me the key
      
         A                                     A7
But inside I knew he was as nervous as  me

           D                               G
I said Daddy oh Daddy are you sure I know  how

                D                               A7
Are you sure that I'm ready to drive this car  now

                       D
He  said I'm right here beside  you

                     G
And you're gonna do  fine

Bm                      A7              D
All you gotta do is keep it between the  lines 

A7                      G
'Cause it's a long narrow  road

G              A7                  Bm                                      
Only the Good Lord knows where it leads in the  end

                Em/D             A7/C#  A7/B  |A7
But you got to  begin
                        
                          G          A7      D
So keep your  hands on the wheel

 G                                  A7                   Bm
Believe in  the things that are  real

                          G              A7                                       
Just take your time and keep it between  the lines


 D                      G
I was sitting in my chair and sneaking a look at  him

D                        A7
Lying on the floor with his colouring  book

                D                                                        G
Then he caught me watching and he climbed on my  knee

               D                                                     A7
He said Daddy oh Daddy would you do one with  me

              D                                                           G
Then I hugged him so tightly as we turned the  page

            D                                                   A7
Said I haven't done this since I was your  age

                        D
He  said I'm right here beside  you

                      G
And you're  gonna do fine

            Bm                                        A7                                
Daddy all you gotta do is keep it between the  lines

D                                                          G
So we finished the picture and I put him to bed

        D                                         A7
Got down on my knees and I bowed my  head

          D                                       G
I said Father oh Father I feel so  alone

               D                                              A7
Are you sure I can riase him with his Mommy  gone

                  D                                          G
Then the answer came back so gentle and low

         D                                                 A7
And words of my Daddy from so long  ago

                     D                                                                    
He said I'm right here beside you and you're gonna do  fine

Bm                             A7                                 D      D
All you gotta do is keep it between the  lines
                          
A7         D         G
So keep your  hands on the wheel

      G                              A7                        Bm
Believe in the things that are  real

                           G             A7                              D       D
Take your time and keep it between the  lines
