Intro: D MajorD

Verse 1:
D MajorD      A augmentedA     G+G        D MajorD
You try your hardest to leave the past alone.
D MajorD      A augmentedA     G+G        D MajorD
This crooked posture is all you’ve ever known.
D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G        D MajorD
It is the consequence of living in between
D MajorD       A augmentedA       G+G       D MajorD
The weight of family and the pull of gravity.

Chorus:
D MajorD          A augmentedA           G+G
You are so much more than your father’s son.
D MajorD          A augmentedA          G+G
You are so much more than what I’ve become.

Verse 2:
D MajorD    A augmentedA       G+G      D MajorD
Long before you were born there was light
D MajorD    A augmentedA      G+G         D MajorD
Hidden deep in these young, unfamiliar eyes.
D MajorD     A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
A augmentedA million choices, though little on their own,
D MajorD     A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
Become the heirloom of the heaviness you’ve known.

D MajorD          A augmentedA           G+G
You are so much more than your father’s son.
D MajorD          A augmentedA           G+G
You are so much more than what I’ve become,
 D MajorD A augmentedA
*wooo*
      G+G
What I’ve become,
 D MajorD A augmentedA
*wooo*
      G+G
What I’ve become,

D MajorD

Bridge:
D MajorD
You pressed rewind
A augmentedA
For the thousandth time
D MajorD              G+G
When the tapes wore through.
D MajorD
So you memorized
A augmentedA
Those unscripted lines,
D MajorD              G+G
Desperate for some kind of clue:
D MajorD
When the scale tipped,
A augmentedA
When you inherited
D MajorD               G+G
A augmentedA fight that you were born to lose.
D MajorD
It’s not your fault,
A augmentedA
No, it’s not your fault,
D MajorD             G+G
I put this heavy heart in you.
D MajorD             G+G
I put this heavy heart in you.

Verse 3:
D MajorD    A augmentedA     G+G        D MajorD
You remind me of who I could have been,
D MajorD     A augmentedA      G+G        D MajorD
Had I been stronger and braver way back then.
D MajorD     A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
A augmentedA million choices, though little on their own,
D MajorD     A augmentedA        G+G        D MajorD
Became the heirloom of the heaviness we’ve known.

Chorus:
D MajorD          A augmentedA           G+G
You are so much more than your father’s son.
D MajorD          A augmentedA           G+G
You are so much more than the wars you’ve won.
D MajorD          A augmentedA           G+G
You are so much more than your father’s son.
