F#,
The dining room fell silent
E
I can’t believe what I just said
F#m
I just told my dad he’s full of it
C#7
And, I watched his face turn red
F#m
Well, then I should’ve said I’m sorry
D
But, I matched him shout for shout
Bm
I can still hear that screen door slammin’
C#7 F#m
The night I called him out
E/G#
He said
A E
“Son, it’s gonna hurt me
D F#m
More than it hurts you”
Bm E C#7
Somehow I couldn’t help but have my doubts
A E
‘Cause I’d seen my older brothers
D F#m
Crawl back in the house
D E F#m
Each time they called the old man out
F#m
Fist to fist and eye to eye
E
Standin’ toe to toe
F#m
He would’ve let me walk away
C#7
But, I would not let it go
F#m
Years of my frustration
D
Had lead me to this night
Bm C#7
Now, he’ll pay for all the times
F#m
That he’s been right
E/G#
He said
A E
“Son, it’s gonna hurt me
D F#m
More than it hurts you”
Bm E C#7
Somehow I couldn’t help but have my doubts
A E
‘Cause I’d seen my older brothers
D F#m
Crawl back in the house
D E F#m
Each time they called the old man out
F#m
It was over in a minute
E
That’s when I realized
F#m
The blood came from my mouth and nose
C#7
But, the tears came from his eyes
F#m
And in memory of that fateful night
D
I knew the greatest pain was his
Bm
And I just pray someday
C#7 F#m
I’m half the man he is
E/G#
He said
A E
“Son, it’s gonna hurt me
D F#m
More than it hurts you”
