🎶 Footprints

[C]Mom and dad told me when [F]you were on the way
[Am]They wouldn’t love me [G]any [F]less
[C]I didn’t believe them [F]I thought you’d take my place
[Am]I didn’t know a [G]best friend’s what’d I’d [F]get
[G]Through the years I’d [Am]make mistakes so [F]you wouldn’t have to make ‘em
And [G]I took chances [Am]every day so [F]you’d know when to take ‘em

You can follow [C]my footprints but you don’t gotta to [F]fill my shoes
It’s just a [Am]path for you to [G]follow if [F]you so choose
You can take the [C]road less traveled yeah I’d probably [F]do that too
But if you’re [Am]lost and feeling [G]broken through and [F]through
You can follow the [C]footprints [G]I left for [C]you

[C]If you break mama’s window just [F]go on and tell the truth
‘Cause [Am]trust is the one thing [G]you don’t wanna [F]break
And if you [C]drink yourself into trouble then getting [F]locked up in your room
Is way [Am]better than getting [G]locked up at the [F]station
[G]Through the years I’d [Am]make mistakes so [F]you wouldn’t have to make ‘em
And [G]I took chances [Am]every day so [F]you’d know when to take ‘em

You can follow [C]my footprints but you don’t gotta to [F]fill my shoes
It’s just a [Am]path for you to [G]follow if [F]you so choose
You can take the [C]road less traveled yeah I’d probably [F]do that too
But if you’re [Am]lost and feeling [G]broken through and [F]through
You can follow the [C]footprints [G]I left for [F]you [Am] [G] [F] [G] [Am] [G] [F] [G]

And [Am]if one day you [G]run right past me [F]Chasing down your [G]dreams
I [Am]hope that I can [G]look ahead and you’ll [F]turn and say to [G]me

You can follow [C]my footprints but you don’t gotta to [F]fill my shoes
It’s just a [Am]path for you to [G]follow if [F]you so choose
You can take the [C]road less traveled yeah I’d probably [F]do that too
But if you’re [Am]lost and feeling [G]broken through and [F]through
You can follow the [C]footprints [G]I left for [C]you
