Verse:
F#m
The dining room fell silent
E
I can't believe what I just said
Bm
I just told my dad he's full of it
C#7
And I watched his face turn red
F#m
Well, then I should've said, "I'm sorry"
D
But I matched him shout for shout
Bm
I can still hear that screen door slammin'
C#7F#m
The night I called him out

Each time they called the old man out
PLAY INTRO
Verse:
Fist to fist and eye to eye
Standin' toe to toe
He would've let me walk away
But I just would not let it go
Years of my frustration
Had lead me to this night
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right
Chorus:
Bridge:
F#m
It was over in a minute
E
That's when I realized
Bm
The blood came from my mouth and nose
C#7
But the tears came from my eyes
F#m
And in a memory of that fateful night
D
I know the greatest pain was his
BmF#m
And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is
Chorus:
Just like my older brothers
crawled back in the house
