Tom: C
C
[Verse 1]
G/B Am F C
You try your hardest to leave the past alone.
G/B Am F C
This crooked posture is all you've ever known.
G/B Am F C
It is the consequence of living in between
G/B Am F C
The weight of family and the pull of gravity.
[Chorus]
Am G F
You are so much more than your father's son.
Am G F
You are so much more than what I've become.
C
[Verse 2]
G/B Am F C
Long before you were born there was light
G/B Am F C
Hidden deep in these young, unfamiliar eyes.
G/B Am F C
A million choices, though little on their own,
G/B Am F C
Become the heirloom of the heaviness you've known.
[Chorus]
Am G F
You are so much more than your father's son.
Am G F
You are so much more than what I've become,
Am G F
What I've become,
Am G F
What I've become.
[Bridge]
Am
Am G/B
You pressed rewind
C
For the thousandth time
F
When the tapes wore through.
Am G/B
So you memorized
C
Those unscripted lines,
F
Desperate for some kind of clue:
Am G/B
When the scale tipped,
C
When you inherited
F
A fight that you were born to lose.
Am G/B
It's not your fault,
C
No, it's not your fault,
F
I put this heavy heart in you.
C/E F
I put this heavy heart in you.
C
[Verse 3]
G/B Am F C
You remind me of who I could have been,
G/B Am F C
Had I been stronger and braver way back then.
G/B Am F C
A million choices, though little on their own,
G/B Am F C
Became the heirloom of the heaviness we've known.
[Chorus]
Am G F
You are so much more than your father's son.
Am G F
You are so much more than the wars you've won.
Am G F
You are so much more than your father's son.
Am G F
You are so much more than what I've become.
(Repeat the run)
Am G F
What I've become
Am G F
What I've become
C
(Fade out)
