Introduction: Em C D B Em D Bm C
Em C
Well the key to my survival
D B
Was never in much doubt
Em D
The question was how I could keep sane
B C
Trying to find a way out
Em C
Things were never easy for me
D B
Peace of mind was hard to find
D A
And I needed a place where I could hide
C G
Somewhere I could call mine
Em C
I didn't think much about it
D B
Til it started happening all the time
Em D
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Bm C
Of what might happen that night
Em C
I couldn't stand to hear the
D
Crying of my mother
B
And I remember when
D
I swore that, that would be the
A
Last they'd see of me
C G
And I never went home again
(bridge)
D E
They say the time is a healer
D E
And now my wounds are not the same
D E
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
D E
I had to hear what he'd say
C G
He sat me down to talk to me
D A
He looked me straight in the eyes
(chorus)
D G D C
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D G D C
You're no son, you're no son of mine
G C D
You walked out, you left us behind
G C D G C
And you're no son, no son of mine
C D Em C D
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
C D
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
Em C D
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D
But where should I go,
C
And what should I do
Em C
You're no son, you're no son of mine
D C Em
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you
C D B Em D Bm C)
(verses)
Em C
Well the years they passed so slowly
D B
I thought about him everyday
Em D
What would I do, if we passed on the street
B C
Would I keep running away
Em C
In and out of hiding places
D B
Soon I'd have to face the facts
D A
We'd have to sit down and talk it over
C G
And that would mean going back
(bridge)
D E
They say the time is a healer
D E
And now my wounds are not the same
D E
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
D E
I had to hear what he'd say
C G
He sat me down to talk to me
D Am
He looked me straight in the eyes
(chorus)
