Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The[G][Csus2][C]
[D]strongest man I ever [G]knew
I [D]never was a match for you
Always [Em]wanted your attention
Never [D]knew just how to get it
So I re[A]belled
Tried to [Cm]be your opposite
I did [G]it well, strange [Em]but true
How our [F]lives are like a circle now
I'm [D]very much like you
You [G]were my unsolved mystery
[D]Always barely out of reach
At [Em]baseball games when parents came
You [D]were always missing, that's [A]okay
Had your [Cm]meetings and
promotions anyway
[G]Somehow [Bm]I kn[Em]ew
The more I [F]tried to be so different
[Em]The [D]more I was like you
[C]Memories die hard
[G]Lov[C]e dies harder sti[Em]ll
I [C]forgive you. I [G]have no [Em]choice.
When [F]all is said and [Dsus4]done,
[D]I am a father's son[G].
[D]The [G]first time that I saw you cry
was [D]the morning that your daddy died.
I [Em]stood there in amazement
as you [D]packed up your suitcase.
I [Em]heard [A]you say
Son I [Cm]need you here
to get me through [G]the day
Through your [Em]tears
Saw the [F]boy inside the man
[Em]it was s[D]uddenly so c[G]lear[C]
Memories die [G]hard
[C]Love dies harder still
[Em]I fo[C]rgive you, I have [G]no choice
[Em]Cause when all i[F]s said and done
[D]I am my father's s[G]on
What is [C]love without forgive[Dsus4]ness?[G]
[D]When all is said an [C]d done,
you did the [G]best you could
[Am]I let go of the an[G]ger
when I finally [C]understood[Dsus4][D]
[C]Memories [Cm]die h[G]ard,
[C]love dies harder still
[Em]I fo[C]rgive you, I hav[G]e no choice
[Em]Cause when all i[F]s said and don[C]e,[Dsus4]
I [D]am my [G]father's [C]son
[G]Oh, I'll always be my [C]father's [Em]son
I'll [C]always love you,
cause I [G]have no choice
[Em]When all i[F]s said and done[Dsus4][D]
I am my father[G]'s [D]son
The strongest man I ever [G]knew [D]you[C]
