- verse 1:  

Am       F          C             G 
So sorry son you're worrying your mother 
Am      F              G              E 
No explanation's gonna make it seem alright 
Am     F    C              G 
Young boy, listen to your father 
Am                       F           G            E 
It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide 





F            E                   
How does it feel?  
             F                            G 
When you're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun 
                     Am  
Tell me how it feels 



- verse 2: 

Am       F             C             G 
Did you see your life flash right before your eyes? 
Am      F              G                         E 
Stop playing games and get yourself up off the floor 
Am     F                  C                G 
young boy we're going to send you to the lions 
Am                       F          G           E 
The men all dressed in white, when you became undone 




F            E                   
How does it feel?  
         F                                   E 
when I might have brought you up but you are not my son 
                     Am  
Tell me how it feels

- Bridge: 

F        E                Am           G 
So many times I tried to bring you up you brought me down 
F         E          Am  G  F     E                    Am 
I won't consider you again stop looking at me like you care 
            G              F 
I worked my fingers to the bone 
              E           Am     G 
I'm not your father or a friend 
    F                                      G 
You might have lived here once but this is not your home 
                    Am 
Tell me how it feels 



- verse 3: 

Am               F         C          G 
You didn't mean much to me I didn't plant the seed 
Am             F               G              E 
I'm not your father cause you didn't turn out right 
Am     F               C          G 
Young boy we're gonna feed you to the fire 
Am                        F         G           E 
It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide

How does it feel?  
             F                            G 
When you're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun
