Intro: D Verse 1: A Bm G D You try your hardest to leave the past alone. A Bm G D This crooked posture is all you've ever known. A Bm G D It is the consequence of living in between A Bm G D The weight of family and the pull of gravity. Chorus: Bm A G You are so much more than your father's son. Bm A G You are so much more than what I've become. Interlude: D Verse 2: A Bm G D Long before you were born there was light A Bm G D Hidden deep in these young, unfamiliar eyes. A Bm G D A million choices, though little on their own, A Bm G D Become the heirloom of the heaviness you've known. Chorus: Bm A G You are so much more than your father's son. Bm A G You are so much more than what I've become, Bm A G What I've become, Bm A G What I've become. Bridge: Bm Bm A You pressed rewind D For the thousandth time G When the tapes wore through. Bm A So you memorized D Those unscripted lines, G Desperate for some kind of clue: Bm A When the scale tipped, D When you inherited G a fight that you were born to lose. Bm A It's not your fault, D No, it's not your fault, G I put this heavy heart in you. D G I put this heavy heart in you. Interlude: D Verse 3: A Bm G D You remind me of who I could have been, A Bm G D Had I been stronger and braver way back then. A Bm G D A million choices, though little on their own, A Bm G D Became the heirloom of the heaviness we've known. Chorus: Bm A G You are so much more than your father's son. Bm A G You are so much more than the wars you've won. Bm A G You are so much more than your father's son. Bm A G You are so much more than what I've become. -Repeat the run- Bm A G What I've become Bm A G What I've become Outro: D -Fade out-
