Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA     D MajorD    A augmentedA         D MajorD
When i was just a kid Everything i did, was to be like him
E MajorE   A augmentedA
Under my skin
A augmentedA
My father always thought If i was strong and fought
D MajorD          A augmentedA
Not like some albatross, id begin To fit in
      F# minorF#m  E MajorE   D MajorD      A augmentedA
Look at me powerless and holding my breath
    F# minorF#m    E MajorE     C# minorC#m      D MajorD
Trying hard to repress what scared him to death
    B minorBm  E MajorE    A augmentedA         D MajorD
It was never easy   to be his type of man
     G+G   E MajorE   C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m
To breathe freely was not in his plan
    B minorBm A augmentedA  D MajorD       B minorBm  A augmentedA  E MajorE
And the best part of me  Is what he wouldn't see

[Chorus]
  D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD
I'm not my fathers son
  D MajorD    A augmentedA       F# minorF#m      D MajorD
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
     B minorBm     A augmentedA       A augmentedA         D MajorD
With the strength of Sparta and the patience of Job
        E MajorE  F# minorF#m  B minorBm      E MajorE   F# minorF#m  B minorBm
Still couldn't be  the  one  To echo what he'd done
      E MajorE    EsusEsus  A augmentedA   E MajorE   D MajorD
And mirror what  was  not  in   me

[Verse 2]
   A augmentedA      F# minorF#m    C# minorC#m   D MajorD
So I jumped in my dreams and found an escape
    A augmentedA    F# minorF#m     C# minorC#m    D MajorD
Maybe i went to extremes of leather and lace
    B minorBm     A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA   C# minorC#m   D MajorD
But the world seems brighter six inches off the ground
    G+G     E MajorE     C# minorC#m    F# minorF#m    B minorBm  A augmentedA  D MajorD
And the air seemed lighter  I was profound and i felt  so   proud
    B minorBm A augmentedA  E MajorE
Just to live out loud

[Chorus]
D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD
I'm not my fathers son
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    F# minorF#m      D MajorD
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
     B minorBm     A augmentedA      A augmentedA          D MajorD
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
        E MajorE  F# minorF#m  B minorBm      E MajorE   F# minorF#m   B minorBm
Still couldn't be  the  one  To echo what he'd done
      E MajorE    EsusEsus  A augmentedA   E MajorE    D MajorD
And mirror what  was  not  in   me

[Bridge]
B minorBm          D MajorD    E MajorE  C# minorC#m        F# minorF#m
The endless story of expectations swirling inside my mind
G+G   F# minorF#m  B minorBm
Wore me   down
B minorBm     D MajorD   E MajorE     C# minorC#m        F# minorF#m
I came to a realization and i finally turned around
E MajorE  D MajorD       B minorBm    A augmentedA   D MajorD    E MajorE
To  see    That i could just be me

[Chorus]
D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD
I'm not my fathers son
  D MajorD    A augmentedA    F# minorF#m       D MajorD
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
     B minorBm     A augmentedA       A augmentedA        D MajorD
With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
       E MajorE   F# minorF#m  B minorBm      E MajorE   F# minorF#m  B minorBm
Still couldn't be  the  one  To echo what he'd done
      E MajorE    EsusEsus     A augmentedA   E MajorE      D MajorD
And mirror what  was  not  in   me
      A augmentedA   E MajorE
We're the same Charlie Boy
D MajorD
