[G#] [B] [E]
My father had so much to tell me, things he said I had to know.
[A] Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break, but I had to find [E] out on my own.
Now when I look at my own son, I know what my father went through.
[A] There's only so much you [E] can do.
[B] You're proud when they walk, scared when they run.
That's how it always has been between fathers [E] and sons.
It's [A] a bridge you can't cross, it's a [E] cross you can't bear.
It's a [B] word you can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how [E] much you care.

You're just part [B] of the flow of a river that runs between fathers [E] and sons.
