Intro B/E5


 B5          A5          E5
silhouettes above the cradle
E5
hold me down
 B5           A5          E5          E5 
they won't let me go the wrong way
 B5          A5              E5       E5
my mother taught me all the fables, told me how
 B5      A5         E5       E5
in the end all the sinners have to pay 
but...

D5             A5            B5       F#5
i don't wanna live like my mother
              D5   A5    B5     C#5
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
    D5             A5            B5      F#5
and i don't wanna live like my father
              D5    A5    B5     C#5
i don't wanna give up before i die


(like verse 1)
he worked so hard his bones are breaking
he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
i don't ever want to end up like he did
and...

i don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die

(like verse 1)
when i have kids
i won't put any chains on their wrists,
i won't
i'll tell them this
there's nothing in this world 
that you can't be if you want it
enough
and...

i don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die

i don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
