: Father and Son

Father: It's not G 
time to make a 
D 
change, just re
C 
lax, take it 
Ami7 
easy

you're still G 
young, that's your 
Emi 
fault, there's so 
Ami 
much you have to 
D 
know

Find a G 
girl, settle 
D 
down, if you 
C 
want, you can 
Ami7 
marry

Look at G 
me, I am 
Emi 
old, but I'm 
Ami 
happy 
D 
 


I was G 
once like you are 
D 
now, and I 
C 
know that's it's not 
Ami7 
easy

to be G 
calm when you've 
Emi 
found something 
Ami 
going on 
D 
 

But take your G 
time, think a 
D 
lot, think of 
C 
everything you've 
Ami7 
got

for you will G 
still be here to
Emi 
morrow, but your 
D 
dreams may 
G 
not
C 
 


Son: How can G 
I try to ex
D 
plain, when I 
C 
do he turns a
Ami7 
way again

It's G 
always been the 
Emi 
same, same old 
Ami 
story. 
D 
 

From the G 
moment I could 
D 
talk, I was 
C 
ordered to 
Ami7 
listen

now there's a G 
way and I 
Emi 
know that I 
D 
have to 
G 
go away. 

D 
know I 
C 
have to 
G 
go 
C 
 


Father: It's not G 
time to make a 
D 
change, just re
C 
lax, take it 
Ami7 
slowly

you're still G 
young, that's your 
Emi 
fault, there's so 
Ami 
much you have to 
D 
go through

Find a G 
girl, settle 
D 
down, if you 
C 
want, you can 
Ami7 
marry

Look at G 
me, I am 
Emi 
old, but I'm 
Ami 
happy 
D 
 


Son: All the G 
times that I've 
D 
tried keeping 
C 
all the things I 
Ami7 
knew inside

It's G 
hard but it's 
Emi 
harder to i
Ami 
gnore it 
D 
 

If they were G 
right, I'd a
D 
gree, but it's 
C 
them they know not 
Ami7 
me

now there's a G 
way and I 
Emi 
know that I 
D 
have to 
G 
go away.

D 
know I 
C 
have to 
G 
go
