Faithful Son

[Bm]Mee[G]t [D]me[Dsus2] where[D] the underground runs out.
[D]Br[G]in[D]g [Dsus2]a picn[D]ic blanket and your pity.
[Bm]A p[G]en[D] a[Dsus2]nd pap[D]er so I can write things down.

[A]Mo[Asus2]ther, [Em]oh [Em7]dear mother, I wasn't joking when I said,
[Bm]Tha[G]t [A]I plan to keep doing this until the day I'm dead.

[Em]But[A] I still remain your faithful only so[D]n.[G]  [D]

[D]La[G]te[D]ly[Dsus2] I've [D]been feeling kind of fragile,

[D]Wh[G]at[D] w[Dsus2]ould a[D]ny of us do, before the dreams that we had came true,
[Bm]Wha[G]t [D]wo[Dsus2]uld th[D]ere be left to dream about.

[A]Fa[Asus2]ther, [Em]oh [Em7]dear father, I'm not trying to reject,
[Bm]The[G] v[A]alues that you held like winning cards up to your chest.
[D]Bu[Cadd9]t I ca[G]n'[A]t just do the things that you wish that you'd done,
[Em]Tho[A]ugh I still remain your faithful only son.
