Intro:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD

Verse:
   D MajorD                          Dsus4Dsus4
My father had so much to tell me, things he said I had to know
    G+G                                      D MajorD
Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break but I had to find out on my own
                            G+G
Now when I look my own son, I know what my father went thru
               D MajorD
There's only so much you can do
    A7A7
You're proud when they walk, and scared when they run
                         D MajorD
That's how it always has been between fathers and sons

Chorus:
             G+G              D MajorD
It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear
             A7A7                         D MajorD
It's the words you can't say, things you can't change, no matter how much you care
         G+G              D MajorD
So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go
            A7A7                      D MajorD
You're just part of the flow of a river that runs between fathers and sons

Intro:
    D MajorD
Your mother will try to protect you, and hold you as long as she can
     G+G                                 D MajorD
But the higher you climb the more you will see that's something that I understand
                                      G+G
One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want to say
                D MajorD
But he'll have to find his own way
    A7A7
On the road he must take, the course he must run
                          D MajorD
That's how it always has been between fathers and sons

Chorus:
            G+G               D MajorD
It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear
             A7A7                            D MajorD
It's the words you can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how much you care
          G+G             D MajorD
So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go
             A7A7                      G+G   A7A7 D MajorD
