Faithful Son Chords Frank Turner
Posted by 1stkords in Uncategorized on February 4th, 2010
Capo 1 D G D Dsus2 D Meet me on the edges of the city, Bm G D Dsus2 D Meet me where the underground runs out. D G D Dsus2 D Bring a picnic blanket and your pity. Bm G D Dsus2 D A pen and paper so I can write things down. A Asus2 Em Em7 Mother, oh dear mother, I wasn't joking when I said, Bm G A That I plan to keep doing this until the day I'm dead. D Cadd9 G A And I'm not a mirror for you when you were young. Em A D G D But I still remain your faithful only son. D G D Dsus2 D Lately I've been feeling kind of fragile, Bm G D Dsus2 D Lately I've been feeling all worn out. D G D Dsus2 D What would any of us do, before the dreams that we had came true, Bm G D Dsus2 D What would there be left to dream about. A Asus2 Em Em7 Father, oh dear father, I'm not trying to reject, Bm G A The values that you held like winning cards up to your chest. D Cadd9 G A But I can't just do the things that you wish that you'd done, Em A Though I still remain your faithful only son. G Gmaj7 Em Em7 /piano instrumental G Gmaj7 The city, seems so still Em Em7 When you're looking down, from Highgate Hill. D let ring, G let ring D Dsus2 D There's nothing left for us to say, Bm G D Dsus2 D You taught me everything that I know, D G D Dsus2 D YOu wouldn't miss me if I stayed, Bm G D Dsus2 D You never see me if I go. A Asus2 Em Em7 This is no confession no this is who I am Bm G A Make me in your image so you have to understand, D Cadd9 G A That I did my best as told and so've become, Em A D G D-G-D Your loving and your faithful only son.

Fm G#
It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
C# G# G#maj7
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them

As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping

Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
Fm G# C# G# G#maj7 x2
Fm G#
there is no reconciliation that will put me in my place

but seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
C# G# G#maj7
walls that we just can't break through until we disappear
C#
so tell me now

if this ain't love then how
C#
do we get out?

cause I don't know
Fm
that's when she said I don't hate you boy

the questions that you still have

and the day pressed on like crushing weights

for no man does it ever wait
C#
like memories of dying days
G# G#maj7
that deafen us like hurricanes
Fm
bathed in flames we held the brand
G#
uncurled the fingers in your hand
C#
pressed into the flesh like sand

now do you understand?

so tell me now

if this ain't love then how

this world is too much noise
it takes me under

it takes me under once again

so tell me now
