This should be pretty spot on, all chords are barre. 
Only trick to remember is that the G chord is played on the 10th fret during the intro 
and whenever there is no lyrics, but played on the 3rd fret with the rest of the song. 
The strumming throughout the song is really straight forward and the 
intro bit is a little trickier but easy to pick up if you listen to the song.
D G D E A
Of the tDhings that have made me, I counGt myself lucky.
I Econsider it fortune, thiAngs like how I wasn’t taDught at a young age to 
rGespect my elders.
EI thank goodness for my abAsence of a father.
GHe could have taken me out, Ewe’d have gone camping.
I Dcould have learned to wield my boGdy as a weapon.
EThese are things that I Awon’t be missing.
D G D E A
DI remember sittinGg in the car with my dirtEy old man as he explainAed
how “she has asDked for it” and how “it was her Gfault”
I’m only glad EI didn’t take thAe bait. I remember Gtelling my motherE  
DIt was the last time GI saw my fathDer. No reEgrets for what eAlse I’ve been 
Dmissing.
G‘Cause I’m not jealous of a well adjusted family,
Bmonly Killing time ‘till they learn their anomEaly don’t help the wounded ones:
the chAildren of the vengeful fathers.
When everGyone I know is still standing in the shadows of the meBmn who left their mark,
I’d rather be left in the dEark.  oAh oh.
D G D E A
If our fatDhers were our roGle models for god Eand they faileAd us,
what does that Dtell us about ouGr supposed omnipotent saviorE?A  
Except we’re Gall born to fiction, dailEy recreated
Dwe play the roles from the stoGries we learned as kEids.
Who bends down? Who plays god?A  
Is it fated that every Dboy on this earth shouGld have his head stuck Dup his ass?E  
We’re all just Alike our dads. We keep leDarning the same sDhit agaiGn.D  E  
And I wonder how long till iAt ends?
DI remember when my dGirty old man told me hoEw I’d grow up to be jAust like him when DI got Gold.
What a bizaErre thing to be toAld, to be told
