Chords for Father and Son by Darryl Shy

_ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _
It's [Ab] not time to make a [Eb] change, just [Db] relax, take [Bbm] it [Ab] easy.
You're still [Fm] young, that's your fault, there's [Bbm] so much [Eb] you have to know.
[Abm] Find a girl, [Eb] settle down, [Db] if you want, you [Bbm] can [Ab] marry, look at me.
[Fm] I am old, but [Bbm] I am happy, [Eb] _
[Ab] and I was once [Eb] like you are now.
[Db] And I know [Bbm] that it's not easy [Ab] to be calm [Fm] when you've found [Bbm] some things going [Eb] on.
[Ab] Take your time, [Eb] think along, [Db] well think of [Bbm] everything you've got.
[Ab] You will still be [Fm] here tomorrow, [Eb] but you're the [Ab] reason you're [Db] here.
_ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] And how can I [Eb] try to explain [Db] when I do, it [Bbm] turns away again.
[Ab] And it's always [Fm] been the same, the same [Bbm] old story.
[Eb] [Abm] From the moment [Eb] I could talk, I [Db] was [Bbm] ordered to listen.
[Ab] Now there's a way, [Fm] and I know [Eb] that [Db] I have [Ab] to go away.
[Eb] I know [Db] [Ab] I have to go.
[Db] _ _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ [Db] _
[Ab] It's not time to make [Eb] a change, [Db] just sit down, take [Bbm] it [Ab] slowly.
You're still [Fm] young, that's your fault, [Bbm] there's so much [Eb] you have to go through.
[Abm] Find a girl, [Eb] settle [Db] down, if you want, you [Bbm] can marry, look [Ab] at me.
[Fm] I am old, but [Bbm] I am happy.
[Eb] _
And [Ab] all the times [Cm] that I cried, [Db] keeping all the things [Bbm] I knew inside.
[Ab] It's hard, [Fm] but it's harder to [Bbm] ignore [Eb] it.
If they [Abm] were right, [Cm] I'd agree, [Db] but it's them they [Bbm] know, [C] not me.
[Ab] Now there's a way, [Fm] and I know [Eb] that [Db] I have [Ab] to go away.
[Eb] I know I [Ab] have to go. _ _
