Intro: Em - C - D - Bsus4 - Em - D - Bm - C







Verses:





Em               C    

 Well the key to my survival

    D             B

Was never in much doubt

    Em               D

The question was how I could keep sane

B                C

Trying to find a way out





Em                 C

 Things were never easy for me

         D                B

Peace of mind was hard to find

      D                    A

And I needed a place where I could hide

C                      G

Somewhere I could call mine





Em             C

I didn't think much about it

       D                         B

Til it started happening all the time

Em                         D

Soon I was living with the fear everyday

   Bm                     C

Of what might happen that night





Em                  C

I couldn't stand to hear the

             D

Crying of my mother

               B

And I remember when



              D     

I swore that, that would be the

            A           

Last they'd see of me

      C               G

And I never went home again





Bridge:



D                       E

 They say the time is a healer

           D                  E

And now my wounds are not the same

D                        E

 I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth

  D                     E

I had to hear what he'd say

C                  G

 He sat me down to talk to me

D                             A

 He looked me straight in the eyes







Chorus:





He said:

D/      G              D         C

 You're no son, you're no son of mine

D/      G              D         C

 You're no son, you're no son of mine

G                   C       D

You walked out, you left us behind

G                  C9        D        G      G      C     C

And you're no son, no son of mine



C                                D          Em      C   D

Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it

 C                         C     D                       

 And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it



Em                    C             D

You're no son, you're no son of mine

                   D

But where should I go,

    C

And what should I do

Em                    C            

You're no son, you're no son of mine

D                             C           Em    

 But I came here for help, oh I came here for you



C - D - Bsus4 - Em - D - Bm - C







Verses:





         Em                   C

Well the years they passed so slowly

D                   Bsus4

I thought about him everyday

Em                     D

What would I do, if we passed on the street

B                    C

Would I keep running away





Em                    C

 In and out of hiding places

D                         B

Soon I'd have to face the facts

     D                    A

We'd have to sit down and talk it over

    C                     G

And that would mean going back





Bridge:



D                      E

I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth

  D                     E

I had to hear what he'd say



C                  G

 He sat me down to talk to me

D                             Am7

 He looked me straight in the eyes

 You walked out, you left us behind

G                   C9        D        G      G      C  D

 And you're no son, no son of mine



C                                D          Em        C   D

Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it

 C                         C     D                       

 And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it



Em                     C             D

 You're no son, you're no son of mine

                   D

But where should I go,

    C

And what should I do

Em                     C            

 You're no son, you're no son of mine

D                             C           Em    

 But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you





Em                    C                D   

You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh

Bsus4              Em                C                D

You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah ha yeah

             Bsus4                   Em           C          D         Bsus4

You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
