♫ Intro:

A  D  E


♫ Verse:

     A
I called my daddy crying
        D               E
On the day after the flood
    Bm                                   E
To tell him that it took my flowerbeds
      A
The river cut the roses
       D
Oh, before the buds could open
    Bm                E
And all my best laid plans
            A
were at an end

Pre

    D                  E
I said I’m sick and tired
       F#m               F#
Of my fogged up window panes
   Bm                                  E
And I don’t think I’ll see the ground again

♫ Chorus:

And he said
  A                      D     E
Hold on, honey it’s not over yet
     A                  D           E
The only life that you’ve got to live
   Bm                 E
So don’t you cut and run
             A          F#m
On what you only just began
        D
My old man
D
I don’t know about some things
   Bm
But I know I can trust him
    D               E
And I know that I love him
        A
My old man

(repeat intro)

♫ Verse:

    A
I called my dad to tell him
           D                E
That they didn’t like the song
 Bm                              E
Although it was the best I ever sang
       A
They talked all through the open
          D
And they left as it was closing
   Bm           E           A
As if I hadn’t given all I had

Pre

    D               E
I said  I haven’t got it
       F#m           F#
And I guess I never did
   Bm                                  E
And I don't think it gets better than this

♫ Chorus:

And he said
  A                       D     E
Hold on, honey it’s not over yet
     A                   D          E
The only life that you’ve got to live
   Bm                E
So don’t you cut and run
             A          F#m
On what you only just began
        D
My old man
D
I don’t know about some things
   Bm
But I know I can trust him
    D               E
And I know that I love him
        A
My old man


♫ Bridge:

         D           E
And if roses never grow
               F#m
And if there’s no one there to hold me
               D
 through the night
           E            F#m
And if I never see dry land
         D                E
And if doors don’t ever open
          F#m     E     A
And the people never know me
        D
And I can’t turn back the time
           E
To start again
D                             E
I can keep on calling my old man

♫ Chorus:

And he'll say
  A                       D     E
Hold on, honey it’s not over yet
     A                      D       E
The only life that you’ve got to live
   Bm                 E
So don’t you cut and run
              A         F#m
On what you only just began
        D
My old man
D
I don’t know about some things
   Bm
But I know I can trust him
     D                E
And God knows that I love him
        A
My old man
