[Intro]
| E minorEm | C majorC | D MajorD | Bsus4Bsus4 |
| E minorEm | D MajorD | B minorBm | C majorC |


[Verse]
     E minorEm      C majorC
Well the key to my survival
  D MajorD       Bsus4Bsus4
Was never in much doubt
  E minorEm        D MajorD
The question was how I could keep sane
B minorBm          C majorC
Trying to find a way out
E minorEm         C majorC
 Things were never easy for me
     D MajorD        Bsus4Bsus4
Peace of mind was hard to find
   D MajorD          A augmentedA
And I needed a place where I could hide
C majorC           G+G
Somewhere I could call mine

[Verse]
E minorEm          C majorC
 I didn’t think much about it
    D MajorD             Bsus4Bsus4
Til it started happening all the time
E minorEm             D MajorD
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
  B minorBm           C majorC
Of what might happen that night
E minorEm          C majorC
 I couldn’t stand to hear the crying
   D MajorD           Bsus4Bsus4
Of my mother and I remember when
       D MajorD
I swore that, that would be the
      A augmentedA
Last they’d see of me
   C majorC        G+G
And I never went home again


[Bridge]
D/ED/E           E MajorE
 They say the time is a healer
      D/ED/E        E MajorE
And now my wounds are not the same
D/ED/E           E MajorE
 I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
 D/ED/E          E MajorE
I had to hear what he’d say
C/GC/G        G+G
 He sat me down to talk to me
D/AD/A              Am7Am7
 He looked me straight in the eyes, he said ...

Chorus:
G/DG/D   C/DC/D      Bm/D   C/DC/D
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
D MajorD    C/DC/D      Bm/D   C/DC/D
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
G+G   D/G       C/GC/G
 You walked out, you left us behind
G+G      D/G      C/GC/G    D/G  | G+G D/G | C/GC/G G+G |
 And you’re no son, you’re no son of mine

D/G   C/GC/G             D/G   | E minor 7Em7 D/ED/E | C/DC/D D MajorD |
 Oh, his words how they hurt me, I’ll never forget it
C majorC      D/C      C majorC   D/C   [ E minor 7Em7 ]
 And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

E minor 7Em7           C majorC
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
D MajorD
 But where should I go,
  C/DC/D     [ E minor 7Em7 ]
And what should I do
E minor 7Em7           C majorC
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
D MajorD
 But I came here for help
   C/DC/D     [ E minorEm ]
Oh I came here for you


[Interlude]

| E minorEm | D/ED/E | Bm/E | C/EC/E C majorC |


[Verse]
     E minorEm          C majorC
Well the years they passed so slowly
 D MajorD            Bsus4Bsus4
I thought about him every day
E minorEm           D MajorD
What would I do, if we passed on the street
B minorBm          C majorC
Would I keep running away
E minorEm      C majorC
In and out of hiding places
D MajorD             Bsus4Bsus4
Soon I’d have to face the facts
   D MajorD          A augmentedA
We’d have to sit down and talk it over
  C majorC           G+G
And that would mean going back


[Bridge]
D/ED/E           E MajorE
 They say the time is a healer
      D/ED/E        E MajorE
And now my wounds are not the same

 D/ED/E          E MajorE
I had to hear what he’d say
C/GC/G        G+G
 He sat me down to talk to me
D/AD/A              Am7Am7
 He looked me straight in the eyes, he said ...

 You walked out, you left us behind

 And you’re no son, you’re no son of mine

Oh I was looking for you

 You’re no son, you’re no son of mi-i-i-ine oh oh oh – no son
    E minorEm      C majorC        D MajorD
Ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah ha yeah
