 I feel like you deserve a chance

 The ones who came before you
                            Gsus4
Only to let pride and money weaken them

It's time for us to choose
    C               C/B F

I'd put all my money on you

Pre-Chorus:
C
 I know that I have nothing left
           C/B             F
To give to you to make you better than
Am
 The man I failed to be, the friends
                         G
And father that I know I should have been
