[F#m] [F]
[A] [C#m]
[F#m] [F] You should be careful where you stand.
[A] It could be days, it could be [G#m] hours.
[C#m] But every arrow's got [F#m] to land.
So if you're any good at [F] fiddles, you should take a crack at [A] this.
If every second has a [C#m] fiddle, does every razor have a wrist?
It fits so [F#] well.
What you [Bm] become is your father's [D] son, which will never [C#] be much of anyone.
[F#] Well, what you [Bm] become is your father's son, [D] which will never [C#] be much of [F#m] anyone.
[F] Oh-oh-oh.
Mmm-mmm [A]-mmm.
Mmm-mmm [C#m]-mmm.
Mmm [F#m]
-mmm-mmm.
Stealing time in raids and [F] riots.
Now you've more than you can hold.
[A] And so you're gambling with a [C#m] giant from some fairy tale you told.
[F#m] So if you're any good at [F] bluffing, I suggest you do it [A] quick.
Because everyone is next to [C#m] nothing, and every talk will have a tick.
It fits so [F#] well.
What you [Bm] become is your father's [D] son, which will never [C#] be much of anyone.
[F#] Well, what you [Bm] become is your father's [D] son, which will never [C#] be much of anyone.
[F#] Well, what you [Bm] become can not be [D] undone, and you'll never [C#] be much of anyone.
[D] God help you if [C#] you ever need a friend.
[D] God help you if [C#] you ever need a friend.
[D] God help you if [C#] you ever need a friend.
[D] And God [F#] help you if [B] you ever
[D] I'm never home
[F#m]
[F] I'm [A] never home
[C#m] [C#] [F#] Well, what you've [Bm] become is your father's [D] son
Which will never [C#] be much of anyone
[F#] Well, what you've [Bm] become is your father's [D] son
Which will never [C#] be much of anyone
[F#] Well, what you've [Bm] become can not be [D] undone
And you'll never [C#] be much of anyone
[F#] Well, what you've [Bm] become is your father's [D] son
Which will never [C#] become too much of [F#m] anyone
