[Intro] D#m  B  F#  D#m  C#  B

D#m     B     F#
The daughter's father watches
D#m     C#     B
Quietly we assume
D#m     B     F#
He's not longer with us
D#m     C#     B
But he left this dusty room
D#m     C#     B
In your name and it's an honor
D#m     C#     B
It's a shame but it's your honor
D#m     C#     B
Take it on your shoulder
D#m     C#     B
Til you can find another

D#m     C#        F#
That's enough for now
             B              C#
He should've never left you broken
             D#m        
He should've held you
B
Things your father never could do
D#m     C#        F#
That's enough for now
            B              C#
He would've never left you broken
            D#m    
He would've held you
B              
Things your father never told you

D#m     B     F#
The century before you
D#m     C#     B
Never could turn 21
D#m     B     F#
Years and years he waited
D#m     C#     B
Just watching for a son
D#m     C#     B
For someone to go ahead
D#m     C#     B
Take the name he said
D#m     C#     B
Years and years he waited
D#m     C#     B
And a daughter came instead

D#m     C#        F#
That's enough for now
             B              C#
He should've never left you broken
             D#m        
He should've held you
B
Things your father never could do
D#m     C#        F#
That's enough for now
            B              C#
He would've never left you broken
            D#m    
He would've held you
B              
Things your father never told you

D#m     C#        F#
Breathing comes in pairs
D#m     C#        B
Except for twice
D#m     C#        F#   B
One begins and one's goodbye

D#m     B        F#
Sixty years of sorrow
D#m     C#        B
He got 5 or 6 of bliss
D#m     B        F#
Left my mother's mother
D#m     C#         B     D#m  
Without so much as a     kiss

( C#  F#  B  C#  D#m  B )

D#m     C#        F#
That's enough for now
             B              C#
He should've never left you broken
             D#m        
He should've held you
B
Things your father never could do
D#m     C#        F#
That's enough for now
            B              C#
He would've never left you broken
            D#m    
He would've held you
B              
Things your father never told you.
