Intro: Am Em Am/F
Am Em Am/F
I was only five when my father died
Am Em Am/F
And I feel like a part of me with him lies
Am Em Am/F
With a drink in his hand, he bid the world farewell
Am Em Am/F
Such a waste of a life on just a little thrill
( Am Em Am/F Am Em Am/F Am Em )
Am Em
In my younger days
Am/F Am Em Am/F Am
I never could find a light to guide my way
Em Am/F
Now I know I was only hiding
Am Em Am/F
In the shadow of his vast mistakes
Dm Am G Dm Am G
But the blood that filled his veins flows through mine
Dm Am G
It's not that I'm ashamed
Dm Am G Am Em Am/F
But how can I redefine how your story ends
Am Em Am/F
How your story ends
Am Em Am/F
I always thought that you'd be there
Am Em Am/F
Through the ups and downs but then you were gone
Am Em Am/F
I never found a place to go where I'd belong
Am Em Am/F
But it's alright since it made me strong
Dm Am G Dm Am G
The blood that filled his veins flows through mine
Dm Am G Dm Am G
I'll take all the pain and turn it into something divine
