E                          F#m
Son, your father's not all good.
A        E                    F#m       E
Still, I love you more than I thought I could.

                          F#m
And when the menace in my mind
A       E          F#m          E
Finds me, I simply look to your eyes.

[Chorus]
    B                     F#m
And boy, someday I hope I do
D       B            E
See the man you will grow into,
    B                     F#m
And when you heart's in disarray,
A              Am     E       F#m     E
Know that your father too has made mistakes.

E       F#m    E       F#m 
oooh oooooh    oooooh  oooooh

[Verse]
E                           F#m
Son, your father's lost his head.
A        E                    F#m       E
Still, I mean every word that I've said.

                           F#m
Though the truth can truly cut
A       E             F#m         E
Here in this confessional with my blood.

[Chorus]
    B                     F#m
And boy, someday I hope I do
D       B            E
See the man you will grow into,
    B                     F#m
And when you heart's in disarray,
A              Am     E       F#m     E
Know that your father too has made mistakes.

[Bridge]
          Bm
I've been cruel to the ones who have stayed by my side,
    Cmaj7
And foolish enough to believe in my pride,
    F#m                                        E
But vanity never could keep me from caring for you.

             Bm
I've strayed too far away from the trees and the lake
    Cmaj7
The innocent road that I choose not to take.
    F#m      
But still I can bring you to bathe in the river
   B                                                    E
To wash out the world long before your heart's withered away.

E       F#m    E       F#m 
oooh oooooh    oooooh  oooooh

[Chorus]
    B                     F#m
And boy, someday I hope I do
D       B            E
See the man you will grow into,
    B                     F#m
And when you heart's in disarray,
A              Am     E       F#m                E
Know that your father too has made, he's made mistakes.
