Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
- - - [x3] - -
I don't think you'll ever step down
A father's devotion unbroken
The patterns laid out
Let him face the consequences
He brought us up to stand alone
To answer to what we've chosen
All the same blood
Chorus
This should be so much easier
Give up your need for control, you're just prolonging
And let him face this on his own
Give up your need, your need for control
Verse 2
Too afraid to watch it unfold
Resentment for his choices
Feel heartless, but you can't forget
Cause he's breaking down our family
And how can you sit there silently?
I'm old enough now to intervene
So listen to me
Chorus 2
This should be so much easier
Give up your need for control, you're just prolonging
And let him face this on his own
Give up your need, your need for control
Bridge
NOTE: for the Bm, pluck the B on the top E string,
then a slow up strum
If you soften the blow, lessen the effect
For the ones that you love
you might be setting them back
Chorus 3
This should be so much easier
Give up your need for control, you're just prolonging
And let him face this on his own
Give up your need, your need for control
ENDING
Give up your need
Give up your need
