Tuning: Standard

[Intro]
| Em | C | D | Bsus4 |
| Em | D | Bm | C |



[Verse]
     Em      C
Well the key to my survival
  D       Bsus4
Was never in much doubt
  Em        D
The question was how I could keep sane
Bm          C
Trying to find a way out
Em         C
 Things were never easy for me
     D        Bsus4
Peace of mind was hard to find
   D          A
And I needed a place where I could hide
C           G
Somewhere I could call mine

[Verse]
Em          C
 I didn’t think much about it
    D             Bsus4
Til it started happening all the time
Em             D
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
  Bm           C
Of what might happen that night
Em          C
 I couldn’t stand to hear the crying
   D           Bsus4
Of my mother and I remember when
       D
I swore that, that would be the
      A
Last they’d see of me
   C        G
And I never went home again


[Bridge]
D/E           E
 They say the time is a healer
      D/E        E
And now my wounds are not the same
D/E           E
 I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
 D/E          E
I had to hear what he’d say
C/G        G
 He sat me down to talk to me
D/A              Am7
 He looked me straight in the eyes, he said ...



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

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

Em7           C
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
D
 But where should I go,
  C/D     [ Em7 ]
And what should I do
Em7           C
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
D
 But I came here for help
   C/D     [ Em ]
Oh I came here for you


[Interlude]
| Em | C/E | D/E | Esus2 |
| Em | D/E | Bm/E | C/E C |


[Verse]
     Em          C
Well the years they passed so slowly
 D            Bsus4
I thought about him every day
Em           D
What would I do, if we passed on the street
Bm          C
Would I keep running away
Em      C
In and out of hiding places
D             Bsus4
Soon I’d have to face the facts
   D          A
We’d have to sit down and talk it over
  C           G
And that would mean going back


[Bridge]
D/E           E
 They say the time is a healer
      D/E        E
And now my wounds are not the same
D/E           E
 I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
 D/E          E
I had to hear what he’d say
C/G        G
 He sat me down to talk to me
D/A              Am7
 He looked me straight in the eyes, he said ...



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

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

Em7           C
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
D
 But where should I go,
  C/D     [ Em7 ]
And what should I do
Em7           C
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
D
 But I came here for help
   C/D      [ Em ]
Oh I was looking for you


[Outro]
Em           C        D       Bsus4
 You’re no son, you’re no son of mi-i-i-ine oh oh oh – no son
    Em      C        D
Ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah ha yeah
       Bsus4
You’re no son, you’re no son of mine
Em   C    D    Bsus4 [ Em ]
  Oh, oh – oh oh – oh oh- oh oh
Em   C    D    Bsus4 [ Em ]
  Oh, oh – oh oh – oh oh - oh oh
Em   C    D    Bsus4 [ Em ]
  Oh, oh – oh oh – oh oh- oh oh
