Verse 1:
   Dm7Dm7     E minor 7Em7      Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Every night after dinner we'd sit in the moonlight
Gm7Gm7     Am7Am7      Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Mom would recall days gone by
   Dm7Dm7   E minor 7Em7     Cm9Cm9 F13F13  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Later on as I crept to my bed after midnight
Gm7Gm7     Am7Am7    Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
She'd lie awake and cry

Chorus 1:
DmDm
Why did he do it?
Gm7Gm7
What did it accomplish?
Ebmaj7Ebmaj7           DmDm
How is this better for our son?

Our only son

She asked for one reason

Verse 2:
Dm7Dm7       E minor 7Em7     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Mom looked so strong but I knew she was hurting
Gm7Gm7     Am7Am7     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
I toughened up for her sake
    Dm7Dm7      E minor 7Em7      Cm9Cm9   F13F13  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
But her memories were stained by my fathers deserting
Gm7Gm7    Am7Am7    Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
I couldn't take his place

Chorus 2:
DmDm
Why did you do it?
Gm7Gm7
What did it accomplish?

I ask for one reason

Bridge 1:
     DmDm                          Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
We'd play catch in the yard on those long summer days with our mitts in hand
     DmDm                        Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
We would stand at the mirror, I learned how to shave and become a man
     DmDm                           Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
And every night when you came home from work you would say 'How I love you kid'
     DmDm                          Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
But you never could love like you claimed that you loved after what you did
A7sus4A7sus4  A7(+5)   DmDm Dm/C Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
I'm only asking for one reason

Instrumental:
DmDm  Dm/C Bbmaj7Bbmaj7

Verse 3:
     Dm7Dm7     E minor 7Em7     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
When you let yourself go it's like you didn't bother
    Gm7Gm7     Am7Am7    Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Did you care how I'd be on my own?
     Dm7Dm7    E minor 7Em7     Cm9Cm9    F13F13  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
How could you be so quick to forget you're my father
     Gm7Gm7     Am7Am7      Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
And take back all the things you'd shown

Bridge 2:
DmDm Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Why did you do it?
DmDm Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Why did you make me listen?
DmDm
Why did you make me believe in you?
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
Why did I wanna be just like you?
DmDm
Why am I turning out just like you?
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7       A7(+5)
You taught me to be selfish too.
    DmDm        C majorC    Bb majorBb
Well I guess that's what fathers do.
         FF+/Eb
They pass things down
DmDm          Bb7Bb7 A7sus4A7sus4
Now I'm here on the ledge
   A7A7    DmDm
This is your legacy
Cm9Cm9    F13F13   Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
God please take it away from me
 DmDm       Dm/C   Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
I wish this could all be undone
    A7sus4A7sus4   A7-9  DmDm  Dm/C Bbmaj7Bbmaj7  DmDm  Dm/C Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
But I'm left here without one reason
      DmDm  Am7Am7 Gm7Gm7 DmDm
So give me one
