A E F#m D A E Sometimes I feel he never gave a damn about me F#m D A Though he raised me like he should E F#m D A E Did he understand me? No, I don't think so.

[Bridge] D A And we dream of the day, when our kids can play E In the streets with no fear of them being taken away D A Fathers raise their sons with respect and love E Handle anger and pain with no need for no guns D A If we hope to be free it takes you and me E To start over here and now D A E 'Cause this world is, the way it is, it's how we raise our kids. F#m D A I wrote this song for my mother E F#m D I wrote this song for our father A E F#m D So hopefully we can come together A E F#m D A E And hopefully make things a little better. D F#m I am free now A E Free to live without my fears
D F#m I believe now A E There's a reason why I'm here. D Can I be a man? F#m One that understands A E How to love more patiently D F#m I'm be free now A E I'm be free now. D F#m I am be free now A E I am be free now. Credits to: https://chordsworld.com/
