[Intro]
F F Am G C
F Am G
[Verse 1]
C F Am G
When I grab you by the hand, you hesitate
C F Am G C
With a subtle inclination to tell a man straight
F Am G C
Your sister was a savior and your mother is a saint
F Am G C
Sometimes a woman is the sum of all the things her father ain't
F Am G C
And men are just the sum of all the things their mothers did
F Am G C
They'll spend their lives searchin' for the love they had as kids
F Am G C
My vices ain't in place to replace a loving home
F Am G C
You can't expect to harvest where the field's halfgrown
[Chorus]
Am G C
You can't choose your blood
G
But you can choose to change the chains that chained you down When you was just
Am
a child
G
And forgiveness ain't an easy road to go
C F
But I know that it's a road worth headin' down
[Post-Chorus]
F Am G C F Am G
[Verse 2]
Am F Am G C
When I see myself, I see your eyes
F Am G C
Reflections nowadays are a calm surprise
F Am G C
With the older I get, the more I become
F Am G C
All the things I swore I'd always run from
F Am G C
But I'll raise myself a family and right the wrong
F Am G C
Of some imperfect people who were only halfgrown
[Chorus]
Am G C
'Cause you can't choose your blood
G
But you can choose to change the chains that chained you down When you was just
Am
a child
G
And forgiveness ain't an easy road to go
C F
But I know that it's a road worth headin' down
[Post-Chorus]
F Am G F Am G
[Outro]

Of some imperfect people who were only half grown
'Cause you can't chose your blood
But you can choose to change the chains
That chain you down when you was just a child
And forgiveness ain't an easy road to go
But I know that it's a road worth going down
When I grab you by the hand, you hesitate
With the subtle inclination to tell a man straight
Your sister was a savior and your mother is a saint
Sometimes a woman is the sum of all the things her father ain't
