Forever My Father

 
              Intro: C Csus4 Am  G 
 
         C                Csus4 
You don't have to be so scared, 
           Am            G 
You don't have to go tonight, 
            C             Csus4 
We just need to hold on tight, 
                      Am (finger thing) G 
For one hell of a ride. 
 
                 C             Csus4 
'Cause we lost it all just now, 
            Am              G 
To the night that left you out,  
            C             Csus4 
So we'll let this go somehow, 
                         Am  G 
But you're gonna be proud. 
 
                         C 
And I just needed you to lift me up, 
         Csus4 
Like you did when we were younger, 
         Am                                G 
When the lightening and the thunder had me clinging to your heart, 
              C 
For someone to lift me up, 
         Csus4 
When I'm down and I'm forgotten, 
       Am*                                G 
You'll forever be my father and I will be saving tears in jars for this one. 
 
 
C Csus4 Am  G 
 
         C              Csus4 
How can I fit all these words, 
         Am         G 
Into such a simple verse? 
             C              Csus4 
It's the last time we will speak, 
                    Am  G 
So you listen to me. 
 
                         C 
And I just needed you to pick me up, 
         Csus4 
Like you did when we were younger, 
         Am                                G 
When the lightening and the thunder had me clinging to your heart, 
               C 
For someone to lift me up, 
         Csus4 
When I'm down and I'm forgotten, 
       Am                               G 
You'll forever be my father and I'll be saving tears in jars for this one.

You don't have to go tonight, 
            C             Csus4 
We just need to hold on tight, 
                      Am  G 
For one hell of a ride.

              For this one.
