F#m E B

Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down

F#m E B

They won't let me go the wrong way

My mother taught me all the fables, told me how

F#m E B

In the end all the sinners have to pay

But...

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna live like my mother

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna let fear rule my life

Dm E F#m C#

And i don't wanna live like my father

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna give up before i die

F#m E B

He worked so hard his bones are breaking

F#m E B

He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling

F#m E B

His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how

F#m E B

I don't ever want to end up like he did

And...

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna live like my mother

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna let fear rule my life

Dm E F#m C#

And i don't wanna live like my father

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna give up before i die

F#m E

When i have kids

B F#m E B

I won't put any chains on their wrists, i won't

F#m E B

I'll tell them this there's nothing in this world

F#m E B C#

That you can't be if you want it enough

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna live like my mother

And i don't wanna live like my father

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna give up before i die

Dm E F#m C#

I don't wanna live like my mother
