Intro: Em - C - D - Bsus4 - Em - D - Bm - C 
 
 
 
Verses: 
 
 
Em C 
Well the key to my survival 
D B 
Was never in much doubt 
Em D 
The question was how I could keep sane 
B C 
Trying to find a way out 
 
 
Em C 
Things were never easy for me 
D B 
Peace of mind was hard to find 
D A 
And I needed a place where I could hide 
C G 
Somewhere I could call mine 
 
 
Em C 
I didn‘t think much about it 
D B 
Til it started happening all the time 
Em D 
Soon I was living with the fear everyday 
Bm C 
Of what might happen that night 
 
 
Em C 
I couldn‘t stand to hear the 
D 
Crying of my mother 
B 
And I remember when 
 
D 
I swore that, that would be the 
A 
Last they‘d see of me 
C G 
And I never went home again 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
D E 
They say the time is a healer 
D E 
And now my wounds are not the same 
D E 
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth 
D E 
I had to hear what he‘d say 
C G 
He sat me down to talk to me 
D A 
He looked me straight in the eyes 
 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
 
He said: 
D/ G D C 
You‘re no son, you‘re no son of mine 
D/ G D C 
You‘re no son, you‘re no son of mine 
G C D 
You walked out, you left us behind 
G C9 D G G C C 
And you‘re no son, no son of mine 
 
C D Em C D 
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I‘ll never forget it 
C C D 
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it 
 
Em C D 
You‘re no son, you‘re no son of mine 
D 
But where should I go, 
C 
And what should I do 
Em C 
You‘re no son, you‘re no son of mine 
D C Em 
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you

Verses: 
 
 
Em C 
Well the years they passed so slowly 
D Bsus4 
I thought about him everyday 
Em D 
What would I do, if we passed on the street 
B C 
Would I keep running away 
 
 
Em C 
In and out of hiding places 
D B 
Soon I‘d have to face the facts 
D A 
We‘d have to sit down and talk it over 
C G 
And that would mean going back 
 
 
Bridge:

He sat me down to talk to me 
D Am7 
He looked me straight in the eyes
