Selection chords: Ethan Cooper

Intro: Em C D Bsus4 Em D Bm C

Verse:
Em C
Well the key to my survival
D B
Was never in much doubt
Em D
The question was how I could keep sane
B C
Trying to find a way out

Em C
Things were never easy for me
D B
Peace of mind was hard to find
D A
And I needed a place where I could hide
C G
Somewhere I could call mine

Em C
I didnʼt think much about it
D B
Til it started happening all the time
Em D
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Bm C
Of what might happen that night

Em C
I couldnʼt stand to hear the
D
Crying of my mother
B
And I remember when

D
I swore that, that would be the
A
Last theyʼd see of me
C G
And I never went home again

Bridge:
D E
They say the time is a healer
D E
And now my wounds are not the same
D E
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
D E
I had to hear what heʼd say
C G
He sat me down to talk to me
D A
He looked me straight in the eyes

Chorus:
He said:
D G D C
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
D G D C
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
G C D
You walked out, you left us behind
G C9 D G G C C
And youʼre no son, no son of mine

C D Em C D
Oh, his words how they hurt me, Iʼll never forget it
C C D
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

Em C D
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
D
But where should I go,
C
And what should I Do
Em C
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
D C Em
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you

C D Bsus4 Em D Bm C

Verse:
Em C
Well the years they passed so slowly
D Bsus4
I thought about him everyday
Em D
What would I do, if we passed on the street
B C
Would I keep running away

Em C
In and out of hiding places
D B
Soon Iʼd have to face the facts
D A
Weʼd have to sit down and talk it over
C G
And that would mean going back

Bridge:
D E
They say the time is a healer
D E
And now my wounds are not the same
D E
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
D E
I had to hear what heʼd say

C G
He sat me down to talk to me
D Am7
He looked me straight in the eyes

Chorus:

He said:
D G D C
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
D G D C
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
G C D
You walked out, you left us behind
G C9 D G G C D
And youʼre no son, no son of mine

C D Em C D
Oh, his words how they hurt me, Iʼll never forget it
C C D
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

Em C D
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
D
But where should I go,
C
And what should I Do
Em C
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine
D C Em
But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you

Em C D
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine - oh
Bsus4 Em C D
Youʼre no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah ha yeah
Bsus4 Em C D Bsus4
Youʼre no son, youʼre no son of mine - oh, oh...
