Verse 1
E 
Badd4 
Got a  (E major) baby girl sleeping  (Badd4) in       my bedroom
C#m7 
Aadd9 
And her  (C sharp minor7) mama   laughing in my  (Aadd9) arms
E 
Badd4 
There's the  (E major) sound of rain  (Badd4) on       the rooftop
C#m7 
Aadd9 
And the  (C sharp minor7) game's about to  (Aadd9) start
E 
Badd4 
 (E major) I  don't really know  (Badd4) how      I got here
C#m7 
Aadd9 
But I'm  (C sharp minor7) sure   glad that I  (Aadd9) did
E 
Badd4 
And it's  (E major) crazy to think that  (Badd4) one little thing
C#m7 
Aadd9 
Could've  (C sharp minor7) changed all of  (Aadd9) it
F#7add4 
Aadd9 
 (F sharp7add4) Maybe       it didn't turn out like I planned  (Aadd9) 
F#7add4 
 (F sharp7add4) Maybe       that's why I'm such,
Aadd9 
Badd4 
 (Aadd9) such     a lucky man  (Badd4)
