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.
