Caro Padre

(início)

G            Em           C
I arrived on time, in my mother's arms
                     G
And a name I didn't choose.
G                                  Em
I was blinded by the white of the hospital,
             C                      G
And in that moment I was pure and absolute.
G                                             Em
Little did I know the moment died when it was young,
         C                                 G
When my father taught me half of right and wrong.
G                                 Em
He washed his hands of trust and left us penniless
           C                                     G
Before my brain had chance to learn his foreign tongue
Em             D              C
Even though I feel like I'm alright,
Em             D                       C
Part of me is missing when I close my eyes.
                     Em
It's clear that you shine through me
          D                     C
In every mistake that can't be undone.
                Am             D               Bm
As I'm getting older, oh it's clear what I've become.
Em D             C      D
I am my father's son.
I am my father's son.
It's clear what I've become.
I am my father's son.
G, Em, C, G
     G                         Em
I do more than just share your name,
C                                        G
I can feel your blood running through my veins.
             G
Because the lying, the cheating, the stealing
                     Em
Oh it's transferred through.
   C         G
To me, from you.
Em             D              C
Even though I feel like I'm alright,
Em             D                       C
Part of me is missing when I close my eyes.
                     Em
It's clear that you shine through me
          D                     C
In every mistake that can't be undone.
                Am             D               Bm
As I'm getting older, oh it's clear what I've become.
Em D             C     D
I am my father's son.
I am my father's son.
It's clear what I've become.
I am my father's son.
D                                              Am     C
All of the months and the years that have gone by,
           Em                                 G
You never once could find the time to tell me why.
   D                                           Am      C
In all of the months and the years we've gone through,
           Em                          D
I tried my best to be myself but ended up turning into you.
Em, D, Em x4
Em, D, C, D ....
My father's son, my father's son.
No, it's clear what I've become.
Because I am my father's son.
No, it's clear what I've become.
Em D             C     D
I am my father's son.
Em D             C     D
I am my father's son.
Em    D               C      D
It's clear what I've become.
Em D              C    D   Em
I am my father's son.
