Verse: *SAME PATTERN AS INTRO*
G E2 C9 Em7 D4 C9
The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume
G E2 C9 Em7 C9
He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room
In your name and it?s an honor, it?s a shame but it?s your honor
Take it on your shoulder til you can find another
Chorus:
Em7 D/F C9(2 bars) Em7
That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
D/F C9 D4
He should've held you, things your father never could do
Em7 D/F C9(2 bars) Em7
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
D/F C9 D4
He would've held you, things your father never told you
- G , E2 , C9 - Em7 , D4 , C9
Verse:
The century before you never could turn 21
Years and years he waited just watching for a son
For someone to go ahead, take the name he said
Years and years he waited and a daughter came instead
Chorus:
Em7 D/F C9(2 bars) Em7
That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
D/F C9 D4
He should've held you, things your father never could do
Em7 D/F C9(2 bars) Em7
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
D/F C9 D4
He would've held you, things your father never told you
Break: SAME AS VERSE CHORDS
Breathing comes in pairs
Except for twice
One begins and one's goodbye
Sixty years of sorrow he got 5 or 6 of bliss
Left my mother?s mother without so much as a kiss
Chorus:
But that's enough for now, he never wanted to leave you broken
He would've held you, things your father never told you
That's enough for now, I would've never left you broken
I would've held you, things your father never could do
Words your father never told you
G E2 C9 Em7 D4 C9
Sixty years of sorrow, he got 5 or 6 of bliss
G E2 C9 Em7 D4 C9
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
The End... Enjoy!
