Verse: *SAME PATTERN AS INTRO*
G5 E5 C5 E5 D5 C5
The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume
G5 E5 C5 E5 C5
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:
E5 D5 C9(2 bars) E5
That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
D5 C5 D5
He should've held you, things your father never could do
E5 D5 C9(2 bars) E5
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
D5 C5 D5
He would've held you, things your father never told you
- G5 , E5 , C5 - E5 , D5 , C5
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:
E5 D5 C9(2 bars) E5
That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
D5 C5 D5
He should've held you, things your father never could do
E5 D5 C9(2 bars) E5
That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
D5 C5 D5
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
G5 E5 C5 E5 D5 C5
Sixty years of sorrow, he got 5 or 6 of bliss
G5 E5 C5 E5 D5 C5
Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
The End... Enjoy!
