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
