This is a great song by the band Balance & Composure, I've been searching the internet
for a tab/chords to this song and couldn't find them anywhere, so i decided to give it a
try myself. This is the first tab that I've attempted, so sorry if there's any mistakes.
If you see any problems, feel free to e-mail me and I will do my best to put it right. Thanks.

Intro: C majorC G+G Am9Am9 FF x2

C majorC              G+G
Bow your head close your eyes,
         Am9Am9      FF
pray that you'll see your son again.
C majorC               G+G
He's been there your whole life,
       Am9Am9         FF
watching the door for you to come in.
C majorC            G+G
He's not like other boys,
         Am9Am9         FF
he's got good ideas, his thoughts are real.
C majorC            G+G          Am9Am9
But now he's lost his head, his heart and soul,
       FF
He cannot feel.

G+G               FF
So carry on with your dull life,
     Am9Am9         G+G
keep the guilt deep in your chest,
   FF     Am9Am9
deep inside oh, don't let anyone in.

C majorC             G+G
Your son's losing all hope,
       Am9Am9      FF
he drags his feet when he walks.
C majorC            G+G
You will not see him cry,
         Am9Am9      FF
no, he'll hold it in until you talk.
C majorC              G+G
What's been holding you back?
       Am9Am9      FF
Just let him know you love him.
C majorC           G+G         Am9Am9
What's he supposed to think of dear old dad,
     FF
a real man.

G+G               FF
So carry on with your dull life,
     Am9Am9         G+G
keep the guilt deep in your chest,
   FF     Am9Am9
deep inside of, don't let anyone in.

They play a solo here, which i could be bothered to work it out properly. I might one
day get round to tabbing it, if you desperately want it, just send me an email and i'll be
happy to do it but i like to just improvise this bit. But here is like the main bit of
the solo:
