As recorded by Sam Barber (2024 release) [Intro] Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em [Verse 1]
     Cadd9                                  G
When days were bright and I was young you'd talk to me and say hey my son,

          D                       Em
The world only gets colder as you age

            Cadd9                       G
Now so many nights have led me here thinking bout the thing I fear and when

D                             Em
I'll finally get some fucking rest

     Cadd9                             G
Just like whiskey going down my throat burns just to speak out loud

    D                           Em
Why can I not clear my own damn head
[Chorus]
      Cadd9      G
I'm alright I'm okay

D                        Em
I will always be the man you raised

            Cadd9          G
I know it's hard on the darkest days

        D                                Em   Cadd9  G
But the moon could never steal your son away

D                  Em       Cadd9  G
All my love is set in stone

D                    Em
And if I die you get my throne
[Interlude] Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em [Verse 2]
    Cadd9                      G
I'm sorry for the time I spent on my own in this trench

  D                            Em
I know it kills you that I am alone

        Cadd9                              G
But the boys out here won't let me die and if it was my final night

    D                             Em
I'd talk to you until I could not speak

          Cadd9                          G
Then with minutes left I'd crack a joke, tell you about the songs

            D                              Em
I wrote and pray that they live long after my time
[Chorus]
          Cadd9      G
But I'm alright I'm okay

D                        Em
I will always be the man you raised

            Cadd9          G
I know it's hard on the darkest days

        D                                Em   Cadd9  G
But the moon could never steal your son away

D                  Em       Cadd9  G
All my love is set in stone

D                    Em
And if I die you get my throne
[Interlude] Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em [Chorus]
            Cadd9      G
Cause I'm alright I'm okay

D                        Em
I will always be the man you raised

            Cadd9          G
I know it's hard on the darkest days

        D                                Em   Cadd9  G
But the moon could never steal your son away

D                  Em       Cadd9  G
All my love is set in stone

D                    Em     Cadd9
And if I die you get my throne
[Outro] G D Em Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em
