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 

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