intro - Em D G   Em D C

      Em        D      G      Em     D      C
The Daughters Father watches, quiet-ly we assume 
 Em        D    G               Em        D     C
He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room
     Em   D            G
In  your name it's an honor
         Em       D         C
It's a shame but it's your honor
    Em      D       G
To take it on your shoulder
      Em     D      C
'til you can find another


[Chorus]
Em        D        G 
That's enough for now
                  C              D
He should have never left you broken
                Em    
He should have held you
C                   (D)
Things your Father never could do
Em        D        G
That's enough for now
                C               D
He would have never left you broken
               Em     
He would have held you
   C                (D)       (G)
Things your Father never told you


    Em  D    G                Em    D    C
The century before me, never could turn 21
 Em         D        G           Em   D         C
Years and years he waited, just watching for a son
    Em      D     G       Em       D     C
someone to go ahead, to take the name instead
 Em         D        G             Em       D      C
Years and years he waited, then a daughter came instead


[Chorus]
Em        D        G 
That's enough for now
                  C              D
He should have never left you broken
                Em    
He should have held you
C                   (D)
Things your Father never could do
Em        D        G
That's enough for now
                C               D
He would have never left you broken
               Em     
He would have held you
   C                (D)       (G)
Things your Father never told you


Em D G   Em D C

(Bridge)
Em         D          G
Breathing comes in pairs
 D           C
Except for twice
Em    D          G        C
One begins and one's goodbye


Em   D          G            Em    D       C    
60  years of sorrow, you got 5 or  6 of  bliss
Em         D          G
Left my mother's mother
          Em       D       Em / D / G / C
Without so much as a ... kiss
   Em   D / Em / C
as a kiss

Em     D      G      C      D      Em      C


[Chorus 2]
      Em      D        G
But that's enough for now
        C                    D
Never wanted to leave you broken
               Em
He could have held you
 C                   D 
Things your father never told you
  Em      D        G
That's enough for now
               C               D
I would have never left you broken
              Em
I would have held you
  C                  D     C       Em / D / G
Things your father never could do
  C                  D       (G)
Words your father never told you


Em   D           G           Em    D       C    
60  years of sorrow, you got 5 or  6 of  bliss
Em         D          G
Left my mother's mother
          Em       D   G 
Without so much as a kiss
