Gm           D     F         Cm 
Ever since I was a small boy 
       Gm               D       F     Eb7M 
No one else compared to you, no way 
Gm      D              F         Bb 
I always…thought…heroes stay close 
    Gm           F       Bb   Eb7M 
Whenever…troubled times arose 

D          Cm 
I didn't know 
D                  Dm    Eb 
Ain't always…how it goes 

Gm           D        F      Cm 
Every single word you told me 
      Gm             D         F       Eb7M 
I believed without a question, always 
   Gm          D       F               Bb 
To save all of us, you told us both to trust 
    Gm             F          Bb       Eb7M 
But now I know you only saved yourself 
  
D                       Cm 
Did you think I'd never know? 
D                  Dm     Eb 
Never wise up as I grow?

Gm   D       F                  Cm           Gm 
         And you could store an ocean in the holes 
       D           F                Eb7M 
In any of the explanations that you gave 
Gm    D                   F         Bb 
  And while you still had time, you had a chance 
    Gm          F                Bb             Eb7M 
But you decided to take all your sorries to the grave 
  
D                       Cm 
Did you think I'd never know? 
D                  Cm 
Never wise up as I grow? 
D                      Cm 
Did you hope I'd never doubt? 
D                     Cm 
Never wonder, work it out?

C                          Em 
You were runnin' for cover 
Bm7                  Em 
Doin' like any other

Fallin' out with a lover 
Bm7                             Em 
You didn't know that I suffered 
Bm7                       Em 
What a thing to discover 
C                        Em 
There was time to recover 
C                         Em 
One-on-one with each other 
C                      Em 
Just a boy and a father 
Bm7                      Em 
What I'd give for another 
C                      Em

Bm7                        Em 
Wouldn't need this for long 
C                      Em 
Never speak of the time 
Bm7                   Em 
That you left us alone 
Bm7                    Em 
Me and Steve on our own 
C                              Em

(I know) I was in Abbey Road 
C                     Em 
Or the time that I had 
Bm7                     Em 
Mick Jagger on the phone 
Bm7                           Em

(This time) I wanna say, "It's all right" 
         Bm7                        Em 
(I know) You're just a man after all 
C                         Em 
And I know you have demons 
Bm7                 Em 
I got some of my own 
Bm7                          Em 
I think you passed them along
