intro - Em D G   Em D C 

(Verse 1) 
      Em        D      G      Em      D      C 
The Daughters' Father watches, quiet  ly we assume  
 Em        D      G            Em      D     C 
He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room 
       Em   D   G 
And your name it's an honor 
       Em       D         C 
It's a shame but it's your honor 
   Em      D       G 
To take it on your shoulder 
    Em     D      C 
'til you can find another 

{Chorus} 
Em           D             G  
That's enough for now 
                              C                    D 
He should have never left you broken 
                        Em 
He should have held you 
C 
Things your Father never told you 
Em             D                  G 
That's enough for now 
                         C                               D 
He would have never left you broken 
                      Em      
He would have held you 
   C 
Things your Father never could do 

{Verse 2} - same progression as verse 1 

The century before me, never could turn 21 
Years and years he waited, just watching for a son 
someone to go ahead, to take the name instead 
Years and years he waited, then a daughter came instead 

{Chorus} 

Em D G   Em D C 

(Bridge) 
Em             D          G 
Breathing comes in pairs 
Em      D           C 
        Except for twice 
Em    D          G            C 
One begins and one's goodbye 

Em   D            G                        Em      D       C     
60    years of sorrow, you got 5 or  6 of  bliss 
Em         D          G 
Left my mothers' mother 
              Em              D              C  
Without so much as a ..... 
Em     D          G      C           D         Em       C 
kiss                              As a kiss 
Em     D          G      C           D         Em       C 

{Chorus} 

60 years of sorrow, you got 5 or 6 of bliss 
Left my Mothers' mother 
Without so much as a kiss
