[Verse 1]
C         G          Am     Fmaj7
 This one here's for my old man
    C               G        Am  Fmaj7
Who taught me to be patient, and want more than I have
C        G       Am     Fmaj7
 So many lessons he has shown
   C                G        Am      Fmaj7
In life you eat the chicken, and you throw away
    C       G       Am     Fmaj7
The bones.

[Verse 2]
C           G          Am     Fmaj7
 We're more alike than he can see
    C                  G        Am        Fmaj7
And though at times he broke my heart, we shared a lot of things,
C             G         Am   Fmaj7
 That help me feel much less alone.
  C               G      Am     Fmaj7
Especially when I fall apart, I know I'm still,
           C           G          Am     Fmaj7
My fathers son,
           C           G          Am     Fmaj7
My fathers son.

[Chorus]
Fmaj7  G         C             C/B     Am7  Am7/G
 And I know that sometimes I'm hard to love,
Fmaj7     G           C       C/B       Am7  Am7/G Fmaj7
 And as I grow into a man I'm sure that I am not enough.
Fmaj7     G              C      C/B       Am7   Am7/G    Fmaj7
 But even when I let you down i hope that i can help you see,
Fmaj7         G                 C  C
 The parts of you, are parts of me.

[Verse 3]
C         G      Am      Fmaj7
 Do you remember singing songs,
     C               G       Am     Fmaj7
On a car ride off to nowhere it was just the three of us.
C              G         Am       Fmaj7
 You called us both your favorite son
    C          G         Am          Fmaj7
And even after all these years those days still live
          C           G          Am     Fmaj7
Inside my heart,
          C           G          Am     Fmaj7
Inside my heart.

[Chorus]
Fmaj7  G         C             C/B     Am7  Am7/G
 And I know that sometimes I'm hard to love,
Fmaj7     G           C       C/B       Am7  Am7/G Fmaj7
 And as I grow into a man I'm sure that I am not enough.
Fmaj7     G              C      C/B       Am7   Am7/G    Fmaj7
 But even when I let you down i hope that i can help you see,
Fmaj7         G                 C   C  C  C/B
 The parts of you, are parts of me.

[Bridge]
Am        Fmaj7          G              C     C/B     Am7
  And I remember staring up at you when I was 9 years old
    Fmaj7              G     G
And you looked 10 feet tall.
Am          Fmaj7        G              C      C/B   Am7
  And I was hoping maybe I'd grow up to be the kinda man
     Fmaj7             G
That you'd be proud to know.

[Verse 4]
C          G       Am   Fmaj7
 I hope by now you understand,
  C                G        Am     Fmaj7
Although I'm never perfect, i give everything i can.
C           G       Am      Fmaj7
 And as the light begins to fade,
    C                G        Am        Fmaj7
I'd like to tell you one more time just how much that
            C           G          Am     Fmaj7
You mean to me,
            C           G          Am     Fmaj7
You mean to me.

[Chorus]
Fmaj7  G         C             C/B     Am7  Am7/G
 And I know that sometimes I'm hard to love,
Fmaj7     G           C       C/B       Am7  Am7/G Fmaj7
 And as I grow into a man I'm sure that I am not enough.
Fmaj7     G              C      C/B       Am7   Am7/G    Fmaj7
 But even when I let you down i hope that i can help you see,
Fmaj7         G                          C  C  C  C
 The parts of you, are the best parts of me.
