Standard tune
intro F#m/E/Bm
F#m E Bm
silhouettes above the cradle
Bm
hold me down
F#m E Bm
they won't let me go the wrong way
F#m E Bm
my mother taught me all the fables, told me how
F#m E Bm
in the end all the sinners have to pay
but...
D E F#m C#
i don't wanna live like my mother
D E F#m C#
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
D E F#m C#
and i don't wanna live like my father
D E F#m C#
i don't wanna give up before i die
(play like vers 1)
he worked so hard his bones are breaking
he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
i don't ever want to end up like he did
and...
i don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
F#m A
when i have kids
E Bm F#m A
i won't put any chains on their wrists,
E C#
i won't
F#m A
i'll tell them this
E Bm
there's nothing in this world
F#m A E
that you can't be if you want it
C#
enough
i don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
i don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
