Bayside - Paternal Reversal: chords

A
Tony your life is not over
D
But you've given up all
                       F
you lived for Put the bottle
          G
down and fix the thing you
E       A
ran from Do you say what
you really mean? Are you
D
really how you're perceived
               F
to be? If the lights go out
   C                 E
tomorrow would you know?

Chorus:
         A                   G
I don't wanna call your family
          F#m                F
and tell them to build a coffin
              A
Because their oldest son just
G             C   D F G
overdosed on pills     You've
      A                 G
got a red glare in your eyes
         F#m              F
And the sky outside your door
               A
is a blacker blue I hate to
 G                    C  D F G
see what's become of you

Tony, it's just a stick in the spokes
It's not too late for you to find your way home
Because your friends are still here
And your family's where you left them
So put on a clear head and try it out for a ride
Because you're better than this and
you can better your life
You can't choose your father
We're suffering together

Chorus

C               Am
You're getting closer to
                 F   Fm
the end of your rope
C        Am
I never thought you'd
                     F   Fm
let yourself get so cold
C                     Am
But lately I've been thinking
                    F
about the things I said to you
          Fm
And now I need to prove that
C                        Am
I didn't mean it when I said
               F
that you were dead to me
             Fm
You mean the world to me

Chorus
