My Inheritance

[Intro]
Eb Ab 
(x2)
 
[Verse 1]
                    Eb
I knew he loved his whiskey
                    Ab
I knew he loved his wine
          Eb                  Ab
But I was never quite sure if he loved me
      Bb
And I always wondered why
                  Eb
I didn’t want his money
                          Ab
Lord knows he didn’t have much
           Eb
Maybe this guitar he gave me
    Bb                Eb
Was his "I believe in you, son"
 
[Chorus 1]
                 Ab                          Eb
I didn’t get forgiveness for the smallest of things
          Ab                                     Bb
But I got who he was and who I didn’t want to be
        Eb               Ab            Cm
God I’m thankful for the beauty in the mess
                  Eb       Bb
I wouldn’t be the man I am today
  Ab                          Eb   Ab
I guess that’s my inheritance
 
[Verse 2]
                    Eb
There ain’t much of nothin’
              Ab
That I didn’t try
            Eb
Looking for love in every wrong place
               Bb
Didn’t make it right
             Eb     Ab
I hurt a lot people
      Bb          Cm
Cause hurt people hurt
           Eb                    Bb                        Eb
And sayin’ sorry when you’re not sorry, man, it never works
 
[Chorus 1]
                 Ab                          Eb
I didn’t get forgiveness for the smallest of things
          Ab                                     Bb
But I got who he was and who I didn’t want to be
        Eb               Ab            Cm
God I’m thankful for the beauty in the mess
                  Eb       Bb
I wouldn’t be the man I am today
  Ab                         (Eb)
I guess that’s my inheritance
 
[Instrumental]
Eb Ab Eb Ab Bb
 
[Verse 3]
                   Eb
I ran like hell to Jesus
                         Ab
Didn’t know what else to do
                 Eb
He showed me his hands
                                Bb
And He said, Son I did this for you
                Eb                   Ab
And you’ll be a daddy like you never knew
                          Bb           Eb
Cause I take broken things and make em new
 
[Chorus 2]
         Ab                           Eb
I got forgiveness for the smallest of things
      Ab                                Bb
I got who He was and who I wanted to be
        Eb               Ab             Cm
God I’m thankful you saw beauty in this mess
               Eb       Bb
It made me the man I am today
  Ab           Bb             Eb Ab
I guess that’s my inheritance
                      Eb Bb
That’s my inheritance
 
Eb
