Father of Mine
Song by Everclear

D
Father of mine
A
Tell me where have you been?
G
You know I just closed by eyes
Em
My whole world disappeared
D
Father of mine
A
Take me back to the day
G
Yeah, when I was still your golden boy
Em
Back before you went away
D               A
I remember blue skies walking the block
G
I loved it when you held me high
Em
I loved to hear you talk
D
You would take me to the movie
A
You would take me to the beach
G
You would take me to a place inside
Em
That's so hard to reach

D   G A D   G A

Oh!
D
Father of mine
A
Tell me where did you go?
G
Yeah, you had the world inside your hand
Em
But you did not seem to know
D
Father of mine
A
Tell me what do you see?
G
When you look back at your wasted life
Em
And you don't see me
D
I was ten years old
A
Doin' all that I could
G                             Em
It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy
In a black neighborhood
D                             A
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
G
I never understood you then
Em
And I guess I never will

Father of mine
A
Tell me where have you been?
G
Yeah, I just closed by eyes
EM
And the world disappeared
D
Father of mine
A
Tell me how do you sleep?
G
With the children you abandoned
EM
And the wife I saw you beat
D
I will never be safe
A
I will never be sane
G
I will always be weird inside
EM
I will always be lame
D
Now I'm a grown man
A
With a child of my own
G
And I swear, I'll never let her know
EM
All the pain I have known
