⸻

G

You stitched my suit, lined it tight,

D

Taught me left from wrong and swim from fight.

Em

Pulled teeth and truths with steady hands,

C

Took every fall and helped me stand.

G

You’re more than blood, more than name,

D

You’re the match that lit my flame.

Em

From cracked bike chains to cracked-up days,

C

You showed up strong in quiet ways.

⸻

G

You’re my confidante, the calm in storms,

C

The one who helped me shape my form.

Em

In the deep end, on the climb,

D

You gave your grit, you gave your time.

G

If I’m anything that’s good and true,

C

It’s ’cause I was built like you.

Em

Yeah, I was built like you,

D

Strong and steady through and through.

⸻

G

Whispers in the mirror, “Stand up straight,”

D

You pinned my style, you set my gait.

Em

You didn’t preach, you just showed up —

C

In swim lanes, life lanes, when it got tough.

G

Late-night talks, the silence too,

D

When words were few but I still knew.

Em

You were the voice behind my pace,

C

The grit behind my every race.

⸻

G

You’re my confidante, my coach, my guide,

C

My north when I was wild inside.

Em

With floss and thread, and heart and mind,

D

You built me bold, you built me kind.

G

If I’ve got strength to make it through,

C

It’s ’cause I was built like you.

Em

Yeah, I was built like you,

D

Every inch, and every truth.

⸻

Em

Not just a dad —

C

You were the crew, the map, the plan.

G

A mirror of who I hope I am.

D

You shaped the edges, raised the bar,

Em

Turned every scar into a star.

⸻

G

You’re my confidante, my fearless friend,

C

The first to start, the last to end.

Em

In every wave, in every mile,

D

You gave your all, you gave your style.

G

So if I shine, or break right through —

C

It’s all because I’m built like you.

Em

Yeah, I was built like you,

D

And I carry you in all I do.

G (let ring)

Built like you.
