Intro: C G Am F (2x) 

C                            G 
Bow your head close your eyes, 
                 Am                F 
pray that you'll see your son again. 
C                              G 
He's been there your whole life, 
             Am                     F 
watching the door for you to come in. 
C                       G 
He's not like other boys, 
                  Am                      F 
he's got good ideas, his thoughts are real. 
C                        G                   Am 
But now he's lost his head, his heart and soul, 
             F 
He cannot feel. 


G                             F 
So carry on with your dull life, 
         Am                        G 
keep the guilt deep in your chest, 
     F         Am 
deep inside oh, don't let anyone in.

Your son's losing all hope, 
             Am                 F 
he drags his feet when he walks. 
C                       G 
You will not see him cry, 
                  Am               F 
no, he'll hold it in until you talk. 
C                           G 
What's been holding you back? 
             Am                F 
Just let him know you love him. 
C                     G                 Am 
What's he supposed to think of dear old dad, 
          F 
a real man. 


G                             F 
So carry on with your dull life, 
         Am                      G 
keep the guilt deep in your chest, 
     F          Am 
deep inside of, don't let anyone in.
