My Father In Me

[INTRO]
Em / Bm7 / | Asus / / /
 
[VERSE 1]
Em          Bm7           Asus
If I listen when I could speak
Em           Bm7            Asus
If I love someone who hates me
       Em               Bm7      
When I drop the stones I wanna throw and
Asus                 Bm7
Turn the other cheek
    Em             Bm7  Asus
And make the first apology

 
[VERSE 2]
     Em             Bm7        A
If I go without for someone in need
       Em              Bm7           A
When I use my strength defending the weak
       Em                 Bm7          
When I lose and choose to celebrate
A                 Bm7
You instead of me
Em      Bm7  Asus
It’s no mystery
 

[CHORUS 1]
           D                D  C
If there’s anything true in my life
   C     G/B
Anything right that makes
G         Em       D/F# G      D
You start dreaming of a higher place
             D C
Any kindness I show
               C   G/B
Any good thing can only be 
G            Em       D/F# G    D   C   G/B 
You’re just seeing my father in me
G            Em       D/F# G    D
You’re just seeing my father in me


 
[VERSE 3]
Em             Bm7          A
I know all the depths of my heart

Em                Bm7      A
I’ve seen all the ugly and dark
         Em         Bm7         
I could try to be a better me
    A       
And work to play the part
    Bm7       Em         Bm7      Asus
But I’ll just rest in my father’s arms 

[CHORUS 2]
           D                D  C
If there’s anything true in my life

You start dreaming of a higher place
             D C
Any kindness I show
               C   G/B
Any good thing can only be 
G            Em       D/F# G    D   C   G/B 
You’re just seeing my father in me
G            Em       D/F# G    D
You’re just seeing my father in me
 
[BRIDGE]
F         C         D
Seeing my father in me (Any kindness I show)
F         C         D
Seeing my father in me (There’s one thing I know)
F            C      
It’s not me, it’s not me
