During the verse, you can do an Ab, Absus4, Absus2, into Db, Ab/Db, listen to the song. Ab Gm Bbm Eb7 Ab
AbEvery generation DbBlames the one before And aAbll of their frustrations Come Dbbeating on your door
I kGb6now that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I kBbmnow that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wisEb7h I could have told him in the living years Ab
AbCrumpled bits of paper DbFilled with imperfect thought AbStilted conversations I'm aDbfraid that's all we've got
You Gb6say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You jBbmust can't get agreement
In this present tense
We allEb7 talk a different language Talking in defenAbse
Say it lAboud, say it clear Db You can listeBbmn as wellEb7 as you hear Ab It's tooAb late when we die Db To admit we dBbmon't see Eb7eye to eye Ab
So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts So don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fat It may have a new perspective On a different date And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be O.K. CHORUS I wasn't there that morning When my Father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years CHORUS FADE OUT
