          D                                                                                                     D4
My father had so much to tell me, things he said I had to know
              G                                                                                                                                                     D
Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break but I had to find out on my own
                                                                                                                G
Now when I look my own son, I know what my father went thru
                                                          D
There's only so much you can do
              A7
You're proud when they walk, and scared when they run
                                                                                                    D
That's how it always has been between fathers and sons
                                                  G                                                     D
It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear
                                                    A7                                                                                                 D
It's the words you can't say, things you can't change, no matter how much you care
                                    G                                                     D
So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go
                                                A7                                                                                     D
You're just part of the flow of a river that runs between fathers and sons
Intro
                D
Your mother will try to protect you, and hold you as long as she can
                  G                                                                                                                               D
But the higher you climb the more you will see that's something that I understand
                                                                                                                                                      G
One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want to say
                                                              D
But he'll have to find his own way
                A7
On the road he must take, the course he must run
                                                                                                      D
That's how it always has been between fathers and sons
                                                G                                                         D
It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear
                                                    A7                                                                                                           D
It's the words you can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how much you care
                                      G                                                 D
So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go
