Keith Urban - Song For Dad

This song has a variety of instruments in it, and the guitar part is a little harder to pick out than in most other songs, but here it goes.  Please use this tab as a starting ground to improve it, because there are a number of parts that I haven't figured out yet.

Intro/Verse 1
Lately I've been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself acting the very same way
Pre Chorus
I tap my fingers on the table
To the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys
When I'm ready to go
When I look in the mirror
He's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize

Chorus
The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

Verse 2
There were times I thought he was bein'
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin' me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did
He always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have

Chorus

Bridge

He's in my eyes
My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone

And I think I can't go on
I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright"
Everything's gonna be alright"
Yes it is

Chorus with these lyrics added at the end
A little more of my father in me
I hope everyday I see in me
In me
In me
I hope everyday I see

A little more of my father in me
