Verse 1:
Em     Bm                    C         G
  When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold
Em       Bm               C           G
  Pulled up to you in the Jag, turned your rags into gold
Em    Bm          C      G
  The winding road leads to the chateau
Em    Bm             C             D7
  You remind me of a younger me, I saw potential

Chorus:
G
 I'll be your father figure
D  
    I drink that brown liquor
C                                           D7
 I can make deals with the devil because my xxxx's bigger
G
 This love is pure profit
D  
    Just step into my office
C                               Am
 I dry your tears with my sleeve
D7              G
Leave it with me

Post-chorus:
              D  
I protect the family
                C
Leave it with me
              Am
I protect the family

Verse 2:
Em      Bm                  C          G
  I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain
Em      Bm                 C          G
  Said, they wanna see you rise, they don't want you to reign
Em  Bm            C    G
  I showed you all the tricks of the trade
Em    Bm                  C           D7
  All I asked for is your loyalty, my dear protege

Chorus:
G
 I'll be your father figure
D  
    I drink that brown liquor
C                                           D7
 I can make deals with the devil because my xxxx's bigger
G
 This love is pure profit
D  
    Just step into my office
C                                     Am
 They'll know your name in the streets
D7              G
Leave it with me

Post-chorus:

I protect the family

Bridge:
Am     D           G
  I saw a change in you
Cmaj7           Am
     My dear boy
                   D             Bm       Em
They don't make loyalty like they  used to
Am                                 D
  Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition
             G                                Cmaj7
On foolish decisions which led to misguided visions
                     Am                            B7
That to fulfill your dreams, you had to get rid of me

I protect the family

Pre-chorus:
G
 I was your father figure
D  
    We drank that brown liquor
C                                              D
 You made a deal with this devil, turns out my xxxx's bigger
G
 You want a fight, you found it
D  
    I got the place surrounded
C
 You'll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you're drownin'

Chorus:
A
 Whose portrait's on the mantel?
E  
    Who covered up your scandals?
D                                               E7
 Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled
A
 I was your father figure
E  
    You pulled the wrong trigger
D                         Bm7
 This empire belongs to me
E7              A
Leave it with me
              E  
I protect the family
                D
Leave it with me

I protect the family
E7
Leave it with me

Outro:
A         E                      D
