[F#]
[A#m] Oh my God
Crying in fear
[F#] Afraid you'll have forgotten me
[G#] Afraid you'll have forgotten me
You're [F#] quiet, dull, [A#m] and faithful son
[F#]
[A#m] Went to work, I worked all day
[F#] When I wanted to run I stayed
I kept [G#] the promises I made
I [F#] kept the promises [A#m] I made
Little children came and grew
[F#]
Moved away and never knew
[G#] Who I was or who I am
[F#] They never knew [A#m] this lonely way
And [F#] those mornings came
[C#] stiff with rain
[G#] I thought the sun would never [F#] shine again
With the sleeves of my old [C#] raincoat stained
[G#] With the salt of my [F#] own tears
And I never would [C#] tell you then
So [G#] I never will [F#] tell you now
All the things I'd break
[C#] And old man, damn, [G#] the real truth is
[F#] I don't know how
[A#m]
[F#]
[A#m]
[F#] I don't know how
I [A#m] don't know
[F#]
[A#m] how
[F#] I don't know how
[A#m] Crying in fear
[F#] Afraid you'll have forgotten me
Afraid [G#] you'll have forgotten me
[F#] You're quiet, dull, and faithful son
[G#] Who's seen the lonely yesterday
And [F#] fought the dirtiest of ways
[G#] With a man inside who would have run away
[F#] From the promises I [A#m] made
