listen to the song to get the rhythm 
hope you like it, please rate
D              A   C  G                          D        A  C  G
 I don't know you         and you don't know the half of it
 D         A             C  G                        D         A  C G
 I had a starring role        I was the bad guy who walked out
              D                 A     C    G
 They say be careful where you aim
                            D          A      C   G
 Because where you aim you just might hit
          D         A            C      G
 You can hold onto something so tight
                 D    A    C   G
 You've already lost it
 D           A      C   G                         D      A   C    G
 Dragging me down         That's not the way it  used to be
 D         A             C   G
 You can't even remember
          D            A   C  G
 What I'm trying to forget
Chorus  
 D  A          C     G
      It was a dirty day
 D  A          C     G
             A dirty day
Verse 2  
       D            A   C  G            D      A       C  G
 You want explanations...     I don't even understand
         D                A   C  G             D           A  C  G
If you need someone to blame...       throw a rock in the air
                 D         A    C   G
and you'll hit someone guilty
         D      A
From father to son
         Bm   D   G
 In one life has begun
    Bm                A
 A work that's never done
            D   A  C  G
 Father to son          
 D  A  C  G
Verse 
 Get it right, there's no blood thicker than ink
 Hear what I say, nothing's simple as you think
 Wake up, some things you can't get around
 I'm in you, more so when they put me in the ground
       D    A     C        G        D      A        C     G
 THESE DAYS DAYS DAYS RUN AWAY LIKE HORSES OVER THE HILLS
