Dear Dad

Bb
Where do I start?
I'll start by saying I love you
      Gm
Even after my heart keeps taking a beating from you
Eb
I never meant to make you
                 F           Gm7
I never meant to make you mad
Bb
Where does it end?
I'm tired of carrying this baggage
      Gm7
Ever since we were kids
We just accepted the madness
Eb
I never meant to make you
                 F           Gm7
I never meant to make you sad
A              Eb
So tell me you need me
                 Bb
Tell me it's not easy
   Gm7                            Eb
To carry all the burdens from the past
I wanna believe it
                Bb
That you really mean it
       Gm                     Eb
That's all I ever wanted from you, dad

Bb
When I was younger
That's when I needed you most, I
Gm
Tried to hold on but got used to watching you go
Eb
You never meant to break me
                   F        Gm     Cm
You never meant to break my heart
Bb
Now that I'm older
I can see through the chaos
      Gm
Angel over my shoulder makin' sure I don't stay lost
Ebm7                Eb
I'm trying to be somebody
               F             Gm7  A
Someone who is happy and free
Bb            Eb
So tell me you need me
                 Bb
Tell me it's not easy
   Gm7                            Eb
To carry all the burdens from the past
I wanna believe it
                Bb
That you really mean it
       Gm                     Eb
That's all I ever wanted from you, dad
      Gm
I got demons and anger and rage
      F
Feels like I've been stuck in a cage
    Eb
Got all these emotions if you cut me open
       Bb
You'll see that I am so much like you
  Gm
I hate it when we're all divided
      F
And I hate that it's always one sided
  Eb
I hate every second I've been in this mess
And I hate, I hate that I'll never hate you
B              Eb
So tell me you need me
                 Bb
Tell me it's not easy
   Gm7                            Eb
To carry all the burdens from the past
I wanna believe it
                Bb
That you really mean it
       Gm                          Eb
That's all I ever wanted from you, dad
It's all I ever wanted
                Bb
It's all I ever wanted
Gm                              Eb
It's all I, it's all I, it's all I
     Ebm7
It's all I ever wanted
                Bb
It's all I ever wanted
Gm                               Ebm7
It's all I, it's all I, it's all I
Bb
Gm                                 Ebm7
That's all I ever wanted from you, dad
