CAPO II
[Intro] 
D  G  D Dsus4 D
[Verse]
My faDther had so much to tell me, things he said I had to Dsus4know
Don't mGake my mistakes, there are rules you can't break but I had to find out on my Down
Now when I look my own son, I know what my father went tGhru
There's only so much you can Ddo
You're A7proud when they walk, and scared when they run
That's how it always has been between fathers and Dsons
[Chorus]
It's a bridge you can't cGross, it's a cross you can't Dbear
It's the words you can't sA7ay, things you can't change, no matter how much you Dcare
So you do all you Gcan, but then you gotta let gDo
You're just part of the A7flow of a river that runs between fathers and Dsons
[Intro]
Your motDher will try to protect you, and hold you as long as she can
But the hGigher you climb the more you will see that's something that I undeDrstand
One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want to sGay
But he'll have to find his own Dway
On the rA7oad he must take, the course he must run
That's how it always has been between fathers and sDons
[Chorus]
It's a bridge you can't Gcross, it's a cross you can't bDear
It's the words you can't sA7ay, the things you can't change, no matter how much you cDare
So you do all you cGan, but then you gotta let Dgo
You're just part of the fA7low of a river that runs between fathers and sGons A7  D
