Dad's Song by Jake Minch
Tuning: E A D G B E

Intro:

D D C D F C

Verse 1:
        D               F
Sometimes I think about her in a prom dress
  C                       G
Holding her hand out, and wearing that promise ring
             G
She gave it back and she knows I still have it
   G
I put it on and it's turning my finger green

Verse 2:
             G         F
Jump in the water and duck in for cover
 G
Stuff in a comforter to both of my knees
             G          F
Trip in the faucet and lose my wallet
G
 We're more similar than

I wanna be

Instrumental:
D C D C

Verse 3:
D           G                  C
I have the problem of being too honest
      D        G               C
I'll give them all of me, then I'll take it back
D                 G           C
 I'll show up in these short spurts of love
    G    D  G                      C      G
And  I'll  disappear when it starts to get bad

Chorus:
G        F
 Oh to be wanted regardless
 G                 F
Showing me you're sacrificing and you're promised
G                    F
 I want to tell you that after you left us
G                      F               A#
 I made a life out of things that I'm scared of
G

Verse 4:
D
Mom started telling me
   F
I'm getting your eyes
Em
  After she told me the way that you died
        G
I find solace in making a promise
Em                         F
  I think I'm breaking at slower forms of

Verse 5:
G              F
 It's getting harder to hold out the thunder
 G                    F
Finally remember the reason I'm running
 G                     F              G
You were inside of me when I started wandering
                 F
I started writing and I called it honor


Verse 6:
   G
And it finally got quiet
 F
The day it got violent
     G
And I started singing
     F
And people are listening
G                F
 You wrote your poetry
               F
I think we both agree
G
 I've been hiding
      F
In the one place
               G  F                         G  F                     G
I shouldn't be    One place I shouldn't be   One place I shouldn't be
