[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.
