I Can't Help But Wonder

C  D  C  D  E
Father?
( Em  G/B  C )
D
Son?
( Em  G/B  C  D )

Em                            G/B
All my life, I'd have died to meet you
C                                 D
Thought about your name so much it hurts
Em                                     G/B
For twenty years I'd dreamt of how I'd greet you
                C
Oh, and now you're here
                 D
I can't find the words
Em7                          G/B
All my life I'd have died to know you
C                                  D
Days and nights I wish that I could show you
Em7                               G/B
For twenty years I never could outgrow you
                C
Oh, and now you're here
( D )

                 C7M
I can't help but wonder
                     G/B
What your world must be
                   Em7
If we're like each other
                           D
If I have your strength in me
                        C
All this time I've wondered
                            G/B
If you'd embrace me as your own
                  Em7
Twenty years I've wondered
                     D
For so long i felt alone

Em7                             G/B
Oh my son, look how much you've grown
C                               D
Oh my boy, the sweetest joy I've known
EM                          G/B
Twenty years ago I held you in my arms
             C    D
How time has flown, oh
Em                                    G/B
Used to say I'd make the storm clouds cry for you
C                               D
Used to say I'd capture wind and sky for you
Em                              G/B
Held you in my arms prepared to die for you, oh
              C
How times has flown
( D )

           C7M
I can only wonder
                    G/B
What your world has been
                     C7M
Things you've had to suffer
                             D
And the strength you hold within
              C
All I've ever wanted
C7M                   G/B
Was to reunite with my own
               C7M
20 Years we've wandered
                       D7  D
But today you're not alone
                         C7M
My son, I'm finally home!
( Bm  Em )
D                              C7M
Father, how I've longed to see you!
    Gm  B
Telemachus, I'm home
( Fm7  Eb )
C7M                          D
Go, tell your mother I'm home
I'll be there in a moment
   C7M
Of course
( D  Em )
Em
Show yourself
Em
I know you're watching me
Em            D  C
Show yourself
                          Em
You were never one for hellos
( E )
D                C
I can't help but wonder
                      D
What this world could be
               Em                        D
If we held eachother with a bit more empathy
                 C
I can't help but feel like
            D
I led you astray
                Em                                     D
What if there's world where we don't have to live this way?
                C
If that world exists
                   D
It's far away from here
                      Em
It's one I'll have to miss
                       G
For it's far beyond my years
                  C
You might live forever
                   D
So you can make it be
                   Em
But I've got one endeavor
                         D
There's a girl I have to see
          Em  D
Very well
Father, she's waiting for you
