[Intro] D
[Verse 1]
D A G D You try your hardest to leave the past alone. D A G D This crooked posture is all you’ve ever known. D A G D It is the consequence of living in between D A G D The weight of family and the pull of gravity.
[Chorus]
D A G You are so much more than your father’s son. D A G You are so much more than what I’ve become.
[Verse 2]
D A G D Long before you were born there was light D A G D Hidden deep in these young, unfamiliar eyes. D A G D A million choices, though little on their own, D A G D Become the heirloom of the heaviness you’ve known. D A G You are so much more than your father’s son. D A G You are so much more than what I’ve become, D A *wooo* G What I’ve become, D A *wooo* G What I’ve become,
D
[Bridge]
D You pressed rewind A For the thousandth time D G When the tapes wore through. D So you memorized A Those unscripted lines, D G Desperate for some kind of clue: D When the scale tipped, A When you inherited D G A fight that you were born to lose. D It’s not your fault, A No, it’s not your fault, D G I put this heavy heart in you. D G I put this heavy heart in you.
[Verse 3]
D A G D You remind me of who I could have been, D A G D Had I been stronger and braver way back then. D A G D A million choices, though little on their own, D A G D Became the heirloom of the heaviness we’ve known.
[Chorus]
D A G You are so much more than your father’s son. D A G You are so much more than the wars you’ve won. D A G You are so much more than your father’s son. D A G You are so much more than what I’ve become.
