Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- - - [x3] - -

I don't think you'll ever step down

A father's devotion unbroken

The patterns laid out

Let him face the consequences

He brought us up to stand alone

To answer to what we've chosen

All the same blood

Chorus

This should be so much easier

Give up your need for control, you're just prolonging

And let him face this on his own

Give up your need, your need for control

Verse 2

Too afraid to watch it unfold

Resentment for his choices

Feel heartless, but you can't forget

Cause he's breaking down our family

And how can you sit there silently?

I'm old enough now to intervene

So listen to me

Chorus 2

This should be so much easier

Give up your need for control, you're just prolonging

And let him face this on his own

Give up your need, your need for control

Bridge

NOTE: for the Bm, pluck the B on the top E string,

then a slow up strum

If you soften the blow, lessen the effect

For the ones that you love

you might be setting them back

Chorus 3

This should be so much easier

Give up your need for control, you're just prolonging

And let him face this on his own

Give up your need, your need for control

ENDING

Give up your need

Give up your need
