You may recognize this, but some of y'all just [A] need to call your mom.
[G]
My dad passed away when I was 19 years old.
And he bought me a guitar as an early Christmas present that year that he passed away.
He gave it to me on [F#] Thanksgiving, and then he passed away on Christmas [G] at work.
So he never got to see me do this, you know, never got to [G] sit in front row.
But he did give [F#] me his father's blessing and told me, after [N] a couple months of watching me, you know,
fiddle around [G] with the guitar and write these songs.
And I was really into it.
And he said, son, I was going to college.
I was going to school at UTA.
My dad, always growing up extremely strict, like [D] A's and B's, you make C's, you move your keys.
When you're with [G#] the girls, you ain't doing [G] nothing.
And so I was in my freshman year of college, and he gave me that guitar.
And then he said, son, music is your thing.
So if you want to [C] give school a break so you can go pursue this, then I want you to do [A] that.
And literally, like a month later, he [G] passed away.
So that's why I went full force, you know, just trying to
I heard this song, it made me think of him.
Every generation brings [G] on the fall
All of that frustration beating on the door
Know that I'm a prisoner in the [C] world, my father has sold me
[Am] Know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
[D] I just wish I could have told him in the living room
[G]
Crumpled bits of paper, filled with imperfect form
[D] Still the conversation, [G] I'm afraid that's all we've got
[C] Said I just don't see it, see it's perfect [Am] sense
We don't find a rematch in this present [D] tense
We all talk a different language, long and deep
Say [G]
it loud, say it clear
You [Am] can get some [D] value [G] here
In the street and in the lane
When we die, when we die
True [Am] family, we don't seek
Out [G] to reply
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught a spirit, later that same [Am] year
Sure I heard it echo in my baby's new born [A] tears
I just wish I could have [D] told him in the [G] living room
Say it loud, say it clear
We all say we have [Am] to carry
What [A] has been left [G] to you here
You know that it's too late
When [D] he dies, too late
[Gm] When we die, true [Am] family
We [D] don't seek out to [G] reply
