     F#maj9                Bb13               Bb9+5      Bb7-9+5     
       Once in a life there comes a man like you 

    Ebm11                                    F#13  F#9+5   C6/9
        And you bear a son so much like yourself

     Bmaj9                                   Bbm9       Eb7+9   Eb7-9+5
          And it's hard to believe that he's grown into a man

     Ab13    Ab9+5          B/C#    Bb    C#   G13-9  Bb13-9
But   pop         I understand

      Bmaj9                  Bb13              Bb7+5
            Once every night I thank my lucky stars

    F#/E  Ebm11                              F#13  Bb+5/C  Bbmaj7+5/C
                You've given me some guiding light

    Bmaj9                                Bbm9      Eb7+9    Eb7-9+5
          But there comes a time when a father and a son

               Ab13    B/C#       E/F#     F#maj9  G/F
     Can no longer            be  one

      Em9               A9            C#/D     Dmaj9
           It took me so long to re   cov  er-er er
 
         Bb9              Am9      D7+9         Gm9    Ebmaj7-5
From the pain of having denied the love I once re lied upon

      E11                     A11       C#/D         Dmaj9
          It takes more than time to dis coverer-er –er

             Bb9              Am9
  That for both the young and old 

     D7+9    Ab9        Gm9      Ebmaj7-5
The truth is sometimes cold but right

    Bmaj9                   Dmaj7-5  C#maj7-5  Cmaj7-5   Bmaj7-5
         This is my life

   Bb7                      Bb9-5      Bb9    
    And I've got to hold my own

     F#/E    Ebm11
                    Even if it means 



               eb4     F#     G    Ab    A 
             F#13      A13   Bb13  B13  C13   C7     Bmaj9
  hurting us both
                                        Bbm9     
    And the wrongs become right when we stop

                Eb7+9    Eb7-9+5
    and wonder how

      Ab13            B/C#
        Look at us         we're better friends now

                  Gsus4    B  E      G          C#
      E/F#        Em       C#7+9  C#7+9+11   B6/9
