Tuning: Standard

This is a great song by the band Balance & Composure, I've been searching the internet
for a tab/chords to this song and couldn't find them anywhere, so i decided to give it a

try myself. This is the first tab that I've attempted, so sorry if there's any mistakes.
If you see any problems, feel free to e-mail me and I will do my best to put it right. Thanks.

Intro: C G Aminor F x2

C G
Bow your head close your eyes,
Aminor F
pray that you'll see your son again.
C G
He's been there your whole life,
Aminor F
watching the door for you to come in.
C G
He's not like other boys,
Aminor F
he's got good ideas, his thoughts are real.
C G Aminor
But now he's lost his head, his heart and soul,
F
He cannot feel.


G F
So carry on with your dull life,
Aminor G
keep the guilt deep in your chest,
F Aminor
deep inside oh, don't let anyone in.

C G
Your son's losing all hope,
Aminor F
he drags his feet when he walks.
C G
You will not see him cry,
Aminor F
no, he'll hold it in until you talk.
C G
What's been holding you back?
Aminor F
Just let him know you love him.
C G Aminor
What's he supposed to think of dear old dad,
F
a real man.


G F
So carry on with your dull life,
Aminor G
keep the guilt deep in your chest,
F Aminor
deep inside of, don't let anyone in.

They play a solo here, which i could be bothered to work it out properly. I might one
day get round to tabbing it, if you desperately want it, just send me an email and i'll be
happy to do it but i like to just improvise this bit. But here is like the main bit of
the solo:

pray that you'll see your son again.
