A D
[Verso 1]
D A D G
Daddy raised me just outside of Memphis
D G D Em
Second generation doctor with hopes to pass it down
A D A
I saw grown men weep and bombers cry
G D
When his fine tuned hands and knowing eyes
G D Em A
Gave a man more life, but he would have been allowed
G D G
He dreamt I'd be the one to wear his coat
D Em D Em A
But tuning keys and guitar strings paved a different road
[Refrão]

Well I hope he knows I'm still my fathers son
D A G D G D Em A
And I hope he's proud of the man I've have become

I found my own way through diffenet means
A D
Sewing up the heart with different strings

D G D
Something about this guitar in my hands
G D Em A
The day I picked it up, I began to understand
D
The first time I sang a song I wrote
D
To a crowded room through a cloud of smoke
G D Em A
Teary eyes and broken souls hooked on every note
G D G
I might have chosen this darkened room to shine
D Em A
But you have your way of healing and I have mine
[Refrão]

Well I hope you know I'm still my fathers son

Sewing up the heart with different strings
