The Night I Called The Old Man Out

Em                                      D
The dining room fell silent, I can't believe what I just said,
       Am                                   B7
I just told my dad he's full of it, and I watched his face turn red.
       Em                                 C
And I should've said, "I'm sorry", but I matched him shout for shout,
            Am                                   B7                 Em
I can still hear that screen door slammin', the night I called him out.

[Chorus]
          G               D       Am                 Em
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
         C             D                B7
but somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts.
         G            D         Am                Em
Coz I'd seen my older brothers, crawl back in the house,
      C                    D      Em
each time they called the old man out.

[Verse]
Em                           D
Fist to fist and eye to eye, standin' toe to toe,
Am                                        B7
He would've let me walk away, but I just would not let it go.
Em                           C
Years of my frustration, had led me to this night,
          Am               B7                   Em
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right.

[Chorus]
          G               D       Am                 Em
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
         C             D                B7
but somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts.
         G            D         Am                Em
Coz I'd seen my older brothers, crawl back in the house,
      C                    D      Em
each time they called the old man out.

[Verse]
       Em                       D
It was over in a minute, that's when I realised
     Am                                         B7
The blood came from my mouth and nose, but the tears came from his eyes
       Em                                        C
And in memory of that faithful night I know the greatest pain was his
           Am                B7              Em
And I just pray someday I'm half the man he is.

[Chorus]
          G               D       Am                 Em
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me, more than it hurts you"
         C             D                B7
but somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts.
         G            D         Am                Em
Coz I'd seen my older brothers, crawl back in the house,
      C                    D      Em
each time they called the old man out.

     G                  D          Am                 Em
Just like my own dear brothers, I crawled back in the house
    C                  D       Em
The night I called the old man out.
