Letter To My Kids Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Ab]Ya, [G]I gotta get real personal on t[Ab]his ya know,
[G]for[Ab] me
[Incomprehensible]
[G]screamin' out two things
[Ab][G]

[Verse 2]
[Ab]When I was young my ambition in life
Was to [G]finish way ahead of the game
[Ab]Such a shame ya'll payin' the price
In this [G]race of fortune and fame

[Verse 3]
[Ab]I really feel apologetic inside[G]
Though you'd never
think to give me the blame
[Ab]It's when I look into your lives
[G]I wonder if it was really worth all the pain

[Verse 4]
Now [Ab]I know what it take in
the [G]heights of mistakes
Is it [Ab]there in the mind of [G]a child?
Though it's all [Ab]for our sakes,
still my [G]heart, how it breaks
Every [Ab]time that I see your [G]smile, check it

[Verse 5]
[Ab]Conversation on the phone is fine
But for [G]me it could never replace
Being [Ab]there to spend quality time
Tuck [G]you in to see the smile on your face

[Verse 6]
[Ab]So when you're old enough to
read these lines
I hope you [G]never find yourself in my place
[Ab]I hope you never feel as lonely as I
And miss the [G]warmth of your
child's embrace

[Verse 7]
Now I [G]know what [Ab]it take in
the [G]heights of mistakes
Is it [Ab]there in the mind of [G]a child? No,
no, no, no
Though it's [Ab]all for our sakes,
still my [G]heart, how it breaks
Every [Ab]time that I see your smile
[G]

[Verse 8]
Now [Ab]I know what it takes,
in the [G]heights of mistakes
Is it [Ab]there in the mind of [G]a child? No,
no, no, no
Though it's all [Ab]for our sakes,
still my [G]heart, how it breaks
Every [Ab]time that I see your [G]smile

[Verse 9]
Now I [Ab]know what it takes,
in the [G]heights of mistakes
Is it [Ab]there in the mind of [G]a child?
Though it's [Ab]all for our sakes,

Every [Ab]time that I see your
