CAPO II

INTRO: D G D Dsus4 D

D Dsus4

My father had so much to tell me, things he said I had to know

G D

Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break but I had to find out on my own

G

Now when I look my own son, I know what my father went thru

D

There's only so much you can do

A7

You're proud when they walk, and scared when they run

D

That's how it always has been between fathers and sons

CHORUS:

G D

It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear

A7 D

It's the words you can't say, things you can't change, no matter how much you care

G D

So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go

A7 D

You're just part of the flow of a river that runs between fathers and sons

INTRO

D

Your mother will try to protect you, and hold you as long as she can

G D

But the higher you climb the more you will see that's something that I understand

G

One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want to say

D

But he'll have to find his own way

A7

On the road he must take, the course he must run

D

That's how it always has been between fathers and sons

CHORUS:

G D

It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear

A7 D

It's the words you can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how much you care

G D

So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go

A7 G A7 D

You're just part of the flow of a river that runs between fathers and sons
