Father's Son Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I caught the fever when she
went down slow
California sun had turned to indigo
Lip [F]biting tension on the patio
Her carnivore fingers in my [G]bag of blow

[Verse 2]
Va[C]cation goggles, Montecito sky
She wakes up and dazzles even
when she's fried
[F]She gave herself free I barely had to try
A longing that neither of us could [G]satisfy
That kiss good[F]bye... I left feeling free
[C]

[Verse 3]
Jungle life is savage
when you're always stoned
So I'd warm myself to her
voice on the telephone
She [F]made her way under my skin,
I should've known
That girls like her ain't
ok just [G]being alone

[Verse 4]
But [C]fear is like a self fulfilling prophecy
I warned her she could always
count on me to leave
That [F]line about you can't have what you
want ""it's free""
And how I need to sail
out on the sick[G]ening sea
I kissed her [F]strong... I felt it in my [C]knees...
She said [G]""well boy,
what if you're [F]wrong? you could stay right here with me""
[C]

[Verse 5]
I said I [G]am my [F]father's [C]son
It's [G]a fate I can[F]'t outrun
[C]While you lie[G] in wait,
I'll [F]medicate then devour [C]you just [G]for fun
I am my [Bb]father's son

[Interlude 1]

[G]

[Verse 6]
An[C]other couple visits
and my grip had slipped
I get weak little knees when the
script gets flipped
[F]Lonely is an ocean I never
learned to swim
Club feet won't evolve,
I could [G]use some fins

[Verse 7]
Sen[C]timental fool with a
stitched up heart
I tried to impress her with my stagnant art
My [F]common ugly tunings and
this poison pen
Maybe I could one day
learn to [G]just say when

[Verse 8]
But [C]she said ""love is about
what you're down to do
It's not a stack of verses
or a new tattoo
You'll [F]never wake up feeling
like you've just been used
And it's got no time for [G]self abuse
Let's kiss good[F]bye and you can
go on feeling [C]free
Boy, what [G]you [F]call
love is not for me""
[C]

[Verse 9]
She said ""you [G]are your
[F]father's [C]son
You'll de[G]vour what you
[F]can't [C]outrun
So don't [G]get me wrong,
I love [F]your songs [C]and the time we had [G]was fun
But you are your [Bb]father's [C]son""

[Verse 10]
I [G]am my [F]father's [C]son
De[G]vouring [F]all I can't out[C]run
Like [G]a fool I ran with my [F]little plans
Always [C]out for number [G]one
I am my [Bb]father's son
