No Capo
G
Son, your father's not all good.
D
Still, I love you more than I thought I could.
Em
And when the menace in my mind
C
Finds me, I simply look to your eyes.
G
And boy, someday I hope I do
D
See the man you will grow into,
Em
And when you heart's in disarray,
C
Know that your father too has made mistakes.
G
Son, your father's lost his head.
D
Still, I mean every word that I've said.
Em
Though the truth can truly cut
C
Here in this confessional with my blood.
G
Boy, someday I hope I do
D
See the man you will grow into,
Em
And when you heart's in disarray,
C
Know that your father too has made mistakes.
G
I've been cruel to the ones who have stayed by my side,
D
And foolish enough to believe in my pride,
Em C
But vanity never could keep me from caring for you.
G
I've strayed too far away from the trees and the lake
D
The innocent road that I choose not to take.
Em
But still I can bring you to bathe in the river
C
To wash out the world long
before your heart's withered away.
G
Boy, someday I hope I do
D
See the man you will grow into,
Em
And when you heart's in disarray,
C
Know that your father too has made, he's made mistakes.
