Son Chords

[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D                         G
My mom was always running
        Asus4
Chasing after something
D
I heard you couldn't tell her nothing
G             Asus4
When she was 19
D
She met my daddy
G                   Asus4
And took off in his t-top Chevy
D
But it went from hot to heavy
     G                    Asus4 D  G Asus4 D
When they found out about me
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
Every other weekend
G         A
Was all I got to see him
D
Sometimes he'd come get me
    G                A
And we'd hit Tellico Creek
D
We'd take that boat and drop it
G                 A
Grab the rods and reels and hop in
D
He'd open up that tackle box
    G               Asus4
And he'd open up to me
    A
And he'd say
 
 
[Chorus]
D              G               Asus4
Son I hope you know how much I love you
A        D
And when you're not with me
    G               Asus4 A
I'm always thinking of you
Bm
You're the drive inside my heart
    A                      G
The reason I reach for the stars above
           Em7                    A
He said my world revolves around you
N.C.                    D  G A
That's why I call you son
 
 
[Verse 3]
D
We'd drive back to his small apartment
G                        A
It was hot wheels on the worn out carpet
D
We'd play games 'til the Braves game started
G                       A
And he'd let me stay up late
D
Time with him was always flying
G              A
Sunday's never had good timing
D
I'd start to pack and end up crying
G                         A
And he'd kneel down and say
 
 
[Chorus]
D              G               Asus4
Son I hope you know how much I love you
A        D
And when you're not with me
    G               Asus4 A
I'm always thinking of you
Bm
You're the drive inside my heart
    A                        G
The reason I reach for the stars above
           Em7                     A
He said my world revolves around you
                          D
That's why I call you son
 
 
[Bridge]
Bm
I was gonna go live with him
    D
But I guess God had other plans
           G
Cause on a two lane road on a Tuesday night
        D                   A
A drunk driver crossed that centerline
Bm
They said my dad didn't feel a thing
D
I wish I could say the same
      G              D
Cause losing him, it left me cold
      Em                   A         N.C. D
I was mad at God, couldn't let it go
 
 
[Verse 3]
D
Then one blue sky morning
G                     A
A brown eyed baby boy was born and
D
I looked outside and it started pouring
  G                       A
I swear they were daddy's tears
D
My old man, I could almost see him
G                          A
In that little face with a new heart beating
D
The pain in mine started leaving
       G                   A
When I whispered in his ear
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
D              G               A
Son I hope you know how much I love you
       D
Now it all makes sense
     G                  A
This place in life I've come to
       Bm
You've filled the hole inside my heart
D                               G
You're why I'll reach for the stars above
   Em7                     A
My world revolves around you
n.c.                    D  G
That's why I call you son
      A                       D  G  A
Yeah, that's why I call you son
