[Verse 1]
    Em                 G                  C             G
You bought my first guitar, and taught me how to bait a hook
    Em              G                C                  G
Got ice cream after every game, even when I didn't play good
    Em              G                  C                 G
You caught me lying once and made damn sure I learned my lesson
        Em             G                 C                G
But you held me when I cried and told me all 'bout doggie heaven
Am                                     C
Every spring you'd twirl me round that little high school gym
    Am                               D
I'd look around so proud to show you off to my friends
 
 
[Chorus]
C                                  G                D
Dad I hope you know that I'm still standing on your shoes
      C                                G              D
Cause there ain't ever been a day that I ain't needed you
        Em                    D                   C            G/B
In this world that won't stop spinning, you don't let go of my hand
     Am7                   G/B  C
Took growing up to finally understand
    Am7           D              Em   G C G
The beauty of the daddy daughter dance
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Em               G               C               G
If that boy don't get my door I hear you preaching in my mind
     Em               G                      C                  G
Girl pay for your own drink and leave, Honey he ain't worth the time
          Em                   G               C               G
And those nights we're sipping whiskey talking life and good cigars
  Am                             C
I look at you, know it's gon' be hard
   Am                       G       C                D
To find someone that's ever gon' be half the man you are
 
 
[Chorus]
C                                  G                D
Dad I hope you know that I'm still standing on your shoes
      C                                G              D
Cause there ain't ever been a day that I ain't needed you
        Em                    D                   C            G/B
In this world that won't stop spinning, you don't let go of my hand
     Am7                   G/B  C
Took growing up to finally understand
    Am7           D              Em7 G C G Em7 G C G
The beauty of the daddy daughter dance
 
 
[Bridge]
    C                             G        D
One day my name'll change, from a Ms. to a Mrs.
      C                               G         D
We'll both be fighting tears, singing Butterfly Kisses
       C                      G                D
In the center of that circle, smiling cause we know
     C                          D
This dance started a long time ago
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
    C                                 G                D
But Dad I hope you know I'll still be standing on your shoes
      C                              G               D
Cause there won't ever be a day that I ain't needing you
        Em                    D                   C            G/B
In this world that won't stop spinning, you don't let go of my hand
     Am7                   G/B  C
Took growing up to finally understand
    Am7         C           D                        Em G C
The beauty of a father's love and the daddy daughter dance
G          Em   G C
Daddy daughter dance
