Intro 1

Verse 1
father had
so much to tell me
Things he said I had to know
G 
Don't make my mistakes
There are rules you can't break
D 
But I had to find out on my own
Now when I look at my own son,
G 
I know what my father went through,
D 
there's only so much you can do.
A 
They're proud when they walk,
scared when they run,
that's how it always has
been between
D 
Fathers and sons
G 
It's a bridge you can't cross
D 
It's a cross you can't bear
A 
It's the words you can't say,
the things you can't change,
D 
no matter how much you care
G 
So you do all you can
D 
Then you gotta let go
G 
D 
A 
Em 
You're just part of the flow of the river
A 
D 
A 
D 
that runs between fathers and sons
Your mother will try to protect you
Hold you as long as you can
G 
But the higher you climb
The more you can see
D 
That's something I understand
One day you'll look at your own son
G 
There'll be so much you wanna say
D 
But he'll have to find his own way
A 
On the road he must take
The course he must run
That's how it always will be
D 
Between fathers and sons
G 
It's a bridge you can't cross
D 
It's a cross you can't bear
A 
It's the words you can't say,
the things you can't change,
D 
no matter how much you care.
G 
So you do all you can,
D 
then you gotta let go.
A 
You're just part of the flow of the river
G 
that runs between fathers and sons.
A 
You're just part of the flow of the river
D 
that runs between fathers and sons
