| Em | D | G | |
| To | take it | on your | shoulder |
| Em | D | C | |

| He should have never left you | broken |
| Em | |
| He should have held you |

| Things your Father never told you |
| Em | D | G | |

| Thi | ngs your Father never could do |
| (Verse 2) - same progression as verse 1 |
| The century before me, never could turn 21 |
| Years and years he waited, just watching for a son |
| someone to go ahead, to take the name instead |
| Years and years he waited, then a daughter came instead |
