Verse 1
D 
G 
C 
Every generation blames the one before
G 
And all of their frustrations
C 
come beatin' at your door
F 
I know that I'm a prisoner to
all my father held so dear
Am 
I know that I'm a hostage to
all his hopes and fears
D 
I just wish I could've told
him in the living years
G 

Verse 2
I wasn't there that morning
C 
when my father passed away
G 
I didn't get to tell him all
C 
the things  I had to say
F 
I think I caught his spirit
later that same year
Am 
I'm sure I heard his echo in
my baby's newborn tears
D 
I just wish I could've told
him in the living years

So don't yield to the fortunes
you sometimes see as fate

G 
You may just be okay, yeah
