Dm
My daddy is a hero, he helps me grow up strong
He helps me snuggle too, he reads me books
He ties my shoes - you're a hero through and through
My daddy, daddy I love you…

Dm
Dm                           F   C
Once upon a time...

Dm                                 C
Once upon a time, in the darkest of lands
Bb                               A
There was a lady who couldn't see the light
Dm                                    C
Her demons were strong, she built her own cage
Bb                                  A
But one day her savior came in through the night
Dm                                 C
They fell in love, and he made her his bride
Bb                                  A
A family was all that her heart desired
Dm                                             C
The years brought a first, and a second young child
Bb                                        A
The third was to follow and complete their lives

     Dm                       C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb                              A
Bedtimes stories and lullabies we sing
        Dm                                 C
It will never be the same, the last time I know
        Bb                A
I knew the day before

Dm                                         C
Appearances are deceptive, and suddenly one day
Bb                                  A
A hero's demeanor had started to change
Dm                          C
Something was off, something was strange
Bb                                             A
It seemed like his feelings had faded away
       Dm                   C
She cried herself to sleep every night
Bb                           A
Afraid of losing and saying goodbye
       Dm                                C
She would have fought, but he denied
Bb                                  A
Drawn to a mistress, he wanted a new life

     Dm                       C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb                              A
Bedtimes stories and lullabies we sing
        Dm                                 C
It will never be the same, the last time I know
        Bb                A
I knew the day before
     Dm                       C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb                   A
No daddy, no, daddy, please don't
Dm                            C
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
Bb                   A
Hide us away, bury mommy nearby
     Dm                       C              Bb    A
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in
     Dm                       C              Bb    A
It's bedtime, tuck the babies in

Dm     C     Bb                    A
                   No daddy, no, daddy, please don’t
Dm     C     Bb                    A
                  Let's hide us away, bury mommy nearby
