G Em C
I arrived on time, in my mother's arms
G
And a name I didn't choose.
G Em
I was blinded by the white of the hospital,
C G
And in that moment I was pure and absolute.
G Em
Little did I know the moment died when it was young,
C G
When my father taught me half of right and wrong.
G Em
He washed his hands of trust and left us penniless
C G
Before my brain had chance to learn his foreign tongue
Em D C
Even though I feel like I'm alright,
Em D C
Part of me is missing when I close my eyes.
Em
It's clear that you shine through me
D C
In every mistake that can't be undone.
Am D Bm
As I'm getting older, oh it's clear what I've become.
Em D C D
I am my father's son.
I am my father's son.
It's clear what I've become.
I am my father's son.
G, Em, C, G

G Em
I do more than just share your name,
C G
I can feel your blood running through my veins.
G
Because the lying, the cheating, the stealing
Em
Oh it's transferred through.
C G
To me, from you.
Em D C
Even though I feel like I'm alright,
Em D C
Part of me is missing when I close my eyes.
Em
It's clear that you shine through me
D C
In every mistake that can't be undone.
Am D Bm
As I'm getting older, oh it's clear what I've become.

I am my father's son.
I am my father's son.
It's clear what I've become.
I am my father's son.
D Am C
All of the months and the years that have gone by,
Em G
You never once could find the time to tell me why.
D Am C
In all of the months and the years we've gone through,
Em D
I tried my best to be myself but ended up turning into you.
Em, D, Em x4
Em, D, C, D ....
My father's son, my father's son.
No, it's clear what I've become.
Because I am my father's son.
No, it's clear what I've become.

I am my father's son.
