song for my father Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
When the warm [Bm]wind
[C]blows through [G]the corridors and tiled walls
There you are,
the mad guardi[C]an of your [G]empty room
Your memories were tortured by the [C]scent
of ocean through [G]the halls
And where was I,
the [C]one that [G]you loved best?

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 2]
Now, show [G]me how to hold the knife
that cuts the page
To crucify the weakness and the guilt
I use for faking strength
Now, I remember,
I crawled naked across the broken stage
And there was I, the child that brought

[Interlude 2]
us shame
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 3]
So walk [G]across the [C]blood red [G]ocean
Stand above the broken [C]glass
and concrete [G]towers
And here I sleep,
stoned [C]guardian of my empty room
[G]Now, I've become the child that nei[C]ther of us
[G]knew[C]

[Interlude 3]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[G](Jetzt kannst [C]du[G]
schlafen)
(Jetzt kannst du [C]immer [G]ruhig
[C]trä[G]umen)

[Verse 5]
Thank God you never [Bm]knew the
[G]things that I've done
Thank God you never saw the
[C]person [G]I've [Bm]be come
[D][G]
