Key of F#m 
 
 
Intro 
 
 
 
The (F#m) dining room fell silent 
I can't (E) believe what I just said 
I just (F#m) told my dad he's full of it 
And, I (C#7) watched his face turn red 
Well, then I (F#m) should've said I'm sorry 
But, I (D) matched him shout for shout 
I can (Bm) still hear that screen door slammin' 
The (C#7) night I called him (F#m) out 
 
He (E/G#) said 
(A) "Son, it's gonna (E) hurt me 
(D) More than it hurts (F#m) you" 
Some(Bm)how I couldn't (E) help but have my (C#7) doubts 
'Cause I'd (A) seen my older (E) brothers 
(D) Crawl back in the (F#m) house 
Each (D) time they called the (E) old man (F#m) out 
 
(F#m) Fist to fist and eye to eye 
(E) Standin' toe to toe 
He (F#m) would've let me walk away 
But, I (C#7) would not let it go 
(F#m) Years of my frustration 
Had (D) lead me to this night 
Now, (Bm) he'll pay for all the (C#7) times 
That he's been (F#m) right 
 
He (E/G#) said 
(A) "Son, it's gonna (E) hurt me 
(D) More than it hurts (F#m) you" 
Some(Bm)how I couldn't (E) help but have my (C#7) doubts 
'Cause I'd (A) seen my older (E) brothers 
(D) Crawl back in the (F#m) house 
Each (D) time they called the (E) old man (F#m) out 
 
It was (F#m) over in a minute 
That's (E) when I realized 
The (F#m) blood came from my mouth and nose 
But, the (C#7) tears came from his eyes 
And in (F#m) memory of that fateful night 
I knew the (D) greatest pain was his 
And I just (Bm) pray someday 
I'm (C#7) half the man he (F#m) is 
 
He (E/G#) said 
(A) "Son, it's gonna (E) hurt me 
(D) More than it hurts (F#m) you" 
Some(Bm)how I couldn't (E) help but have my (C#7) doubts 
'Cause I'd (A) seen my older (E) brothers 
(D) Crawl back in the (F#m) house 
Each (D) time they called the (E) old man (F#m) out 
He (E/G#) said 
(A) "Son, it's gonna (E) hurt me 
(D) More than it hurts (F#m) you" 
Some(Bm)how I couldn't (E) help but have my (C#7) doubts 
'Cause I'd (A) seen my older (E) brothers 
(D) Crawl back in the (F#m) house 
Each (D) time they called the (E) old man (F#m) out
