F C
Bow your head close your eyes,
G F
pray that you'll see your son again.
F C
He's been there your whole life,
G F
watching the door for you to come in
(repeat chords)
He's not like other boys,
he's got good ideas, his thoughts are real.
But now he's lost his head, his heart and soul,
He cannot feel.
G F
So carry on with your dull life,
Am G
keep the guilt deep in your chest,
F G
deep inside of, don't let anyone in.
Below is a tab of the 2nd guitar and the chords played together, its pretty tough to tab
but the 2nd guitar is shown after just in case

Repeat F, C, G, F
Your son's losing all hope,
he drags his feet when he walks.
You will not see him cry,
no, he'll hold it in until you talk.
What's been holding you back?
Just let him know you love him.
What's he supposed to think of dear old dad,
a real man.
G F
So carry on with your dull life,
Am G
keep the guilt deep in your chest,
F G
deep inside of, don't let anyone in.
*2nd guitar comes in here*
I cant combine the two guitars into 1 the 2nd guitar higher but my other tab has that
guitar if you like.
F C
Bow your head close your eyes,
