[Verse]
 Am             G                         C
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst.
 Fmaj7             C                  Am
Yeah we've been blessed and we've been cursed
 Am7         Em   G
Your mothers know that
   C
I love you both

 Fmaj7       C                  G
They won't tell you that I've tried
       C   Am        G
I try everyday of my life

[Verse]
 Am7       G                C
It's been a test to make it here.
 Fmaj7           C                Am
My hope's been fading through the years
                      G         C
But I've been holding on to a prayer
                         F
And I hope that someday soon
              C               G
God sees my efforts and my pain
                               F
Shows me my efforts aren't in vain

[Chorus]
           Am7
And I've played the part
                     C
And I've played the fool
                    F
And I've been used
               Am7            G
And I let them get the best of me but
                F
It was all for you
 Am7                       C           G
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
             G
Just so you know
                          Am7
I love you both just the same

[Verse 2]
 Am             G                         C
We've seen the best and we've seen the worst.
 Fmaj7             C                  Am
Yeah we've been blessed and we've been cursed.
 Am7        Em
But it's all been worth it
 G       C
Just to watch you grow boys.
 F              C        G
And I'll be a daddy till I die.
                           C              F
When I die I'll keep the angels by your side.

[Chorus 2]
                    Am7
And I've played the part
                     C
And I've played the fool
                    F
And I've been used
       Am7                    G
And I let them get the best of me but
                F
It was all for you
  Am7                       C           F
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
             Am7
Just so you know
            G              F
I love you both just the same

                Am7
And I've played the part
                     C
And I've played the fool
                    F
And I've been used
       Am7                    G
And I let them get the best of me but
                F
It was all for you
             Am7            C                G
For what it's worth I never meant you any pain
             Am7
Just so you know
                          Am7
I love you both just the same
