Intro: Am  Em  Am/F 

Am         Em        Am/F 
I was only five when my father died 
      Am          Em      Am/F 
And I feel like a part of me with him lies 
Am                  Em    Am/F 
With a drink in his hand, he bid the world farewell 
       Am         Em   Am/F 
Such a waste of a life on just a little thrill 

( Am  Em  Am/F  Am  Em  Am/F  Am  Em )  

Am            Em   
In my younger days 
Am/F                 Am       Em       Am/F   Am 
I never could find a light to guide my way 
      Em     Am/F 
Now I know I was only hiding 
              Am     Em      Am/F 
In the shadow of his vast mistakes  

Dm                 Am         G     Dm  Am        G     
But the blood that filled his veins flows through mine 
Dm            Am     G 
It's not that I'm ashamed 
Dm            Am     G                Am    Em  Am/F 
But how can I redefine how your story ends 
               Am    Em  Am/F 
How your story ends 

Am       Em         Am/F  
I always thought that you'd be there 
                            Am     Em       Am/F             
Through the ups and downs but then you were gone 
Am        Em     Am/F 
I never found a place to go where I'd belong 
         Am               Em      Am/F 
But it's alright since it made me strong 

Dm              Am        G     Dm  Am        G 
The blood that filled his veins flows through mine 
Dm        Am      G             Dm      Am             G 
I'll take all the pain and turn it into something divine
