I am a family man
    G                     A                   D
I traded in my Mustang for a minivan
             G                      A                           Bm
This is not what I was headed for when I began
                A
This was not my plan
               G                A
I am a family man

	        D         G      A         D
	But everything I had to lose
	           Bm       G             A          D
	Came back a thousand times in you
	               D/F#    G            A
And you fill me up with love

	Cause I am a family man

         D
And life is good
                                 G
That's something I always knew 
       A                  D
But I just never understood

If you'd asked me then, you know I'd say I never would
                             A
Settle down in a neighborhood
               G                        A
I never thought I could

	            D          G         A     D
	But I don't remember anymore
	Bm       G      A      D
	Who I even was before
	               D/F#    G           A
	And you fill me up with love
	             D   D/F#  G
Fill me up with love
	                                A
	And you help me stand

So come on with the thunder clouds
               G                       A
Let the cold winds rail against us
              D
Let the rain come down
                G                 A                        Bm
We can build a roof above us with the love we've found
                       A
And we can stand our ground
                 G                           A
So let the rain come down

	             D             G             A            D
	Cause love binds up what breaks in two
	       Bm          G          A          D
	So keep my heart so close to you
	              D/F#     G           A
	And I'll fill you up with love
	              D  D/F#  G
Fill you up with love
	                               A
	And I'll help you stand
	                         D
	Cause I am a family man

          G               A                          D
I'm saving my vacation time for Disneyland
               G                 A                    Bm
I know every line to every song in Peter Pan
                 A
This was not my plan
                       G
It's so much better than
                  D                 G
So much better than
                         D                 G    A    D
Cause I am a family man
