 -  -  -  -  -
 I don't think you'll ever  step down
 A father's  devotion  unbroken
 The patterns  laid out
 Let him face  the consequences
 He brought  us up  to stand alone
 To answer to  what we've  chosen
 All the  same blood
This  should be so  much easier
 Give up  your need for  control, you're just  prolonging
 And let  him face  this  on his own
 Give up  your need,  your need  for control
 Too afraid to watch  it unfold
Resentment  for his  choices
 Feel heartless,  but you can't forget
 Cause he's breaking  down our family
 And how  can you  sit there  silently?
 I'm old  enough  now to  intervene
 So listen  to me
This  should be so  much easier
 Give up  your need for  control, you're just  prolonging
 And let  him face  this  on his own
 Give up  your need,  your need  for control
 NOTE: for the Bm, pluck the B on the top E string,
  then a slow up strum
 If you soften the blow,  lessen the effect
 For the ones that you love
 you might be setting them back
This  should be so  much easier
 Give up  your need for  control, you're just  prolonging
 And let  him face  this  on his own
 Give up  your need,  your need  for control
 ENDING
Give  up your need
Give  up your need
