            Fm        G     Cm
Heart over mind, yes I'm my father's son,
            Fm        G     Cm
I live my life, just like my father's done
         Ab           G           Cm
If he'd told me, one day that somebody'd have my heart in chains
          Ab           G              Cm
Would I believe it, no way made up my mind I'd never fall that way

            Ab             Gm
But tell me why everytime I try,
                     Fm                   Eb
to tell you it's goodbye I can't seem to let Go
       Ab                    Gm
In my heart I know I want to stay
                    C           G
What I'm trying to say

            Fm        G     Cm
