He put his arms around her shoulder and with a voice that sounded older
D A
He said, "Mom, I got something on my mind
A
I don't wanna bother you but I sure need to talk to you
A D
If you can only spare the time
D
And Mom I hope you understand how much I love and need you
D7 G
And I don't want you to take this the wrong way
D A
But don't you think I'm old enough and big enough and strong enough
A D
To play the games that Daddies play”

D A
And he wondered if I'd like to go

A D
the way I've seen 'em do in picture shows
D
And there's one thing I'd like to do and maybe if I ask him to
D7 G
He'd sit and talk with me man to man
D A
We'd only be gone overnight and I could find out what it's like
A D
to play the games that Daddies play

E
She searched her mind in desperation, six long years of separation
E7 A
Dimmed the words she knew she had to say
E B7
I hope you're never big enough or old enough or bold enough
B7 E
To play the games that Daddies play
B7
I know you need and want his love but, Son, you're the victim of
B7 E
Another kind of game that Daddies play
