Dm
My daddy is a hero, he helps me grow up strong
He helps me snuggle too, he reads me books
He ties my shoes - you're a hero through and through
My daddy, daddy I love you…
[Intro]
DmDmFC
Once upon a time...
[Verse 1]
DmC
Once upon a time, in the darkest of lands
BbA
There was a lady who couldn't see the light
DmC
Her demons were strong, she built her own cage
BbA
But one day her savior came in through the night
DmC
They fell in love, and he made her his bride
BbA
A family was all that her heart desired
DmC
The years brought a first, and a second young child
BbA
The third was to follow and complete their lives
[Chorus]
DmC
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
BbA
Bedtimes stories and lullabies we sing
DmC
It will never be the same, the last time I know
BbA
I knew the day before
[Verse 2]
DmC
Appearances are deceptive, and suddenly one day
BbA
A hero's demeanor had started to change
DmC
Something was off, something was strange
BbA
It seemed like his feelings had faded away
DmC
She cried herself to sleep every night
BbA
Afraid of losing and saying goodbye
DmC
She would have fought, but he denied
BbA
Drawn to a mistress, he wanted a new life
[Chorus]
DmC
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
BbA
Bedtimes stories and lullabies we sing
DmC
It will never be the same, the last time I know
BbA
I knew the day before
DmC
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
BbA
No daddy, no, daddy, please don't
DmC
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
BbA
Hide us away, bury mommy nearby
DmCBbA
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
DmCBbA
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
[Outro]
DmCBbA
No daddy, no, daddy, please don’t
DmCBbA
Let's hide us away, bury mommy nearby
