[Verse 1]
D F G D
I know I was tough and hard on you son
F C G D
I didn’t mean no harm in what I had done
D F G D
I didn’t want to lose you to the bad side of town
F C G D
I just tried to keep you from fallin far down
[Chorus]
F C D
Hard lessons to learn for one and for all
F C D
The things that are done to make sure they don't fall
F C Dm7 G
They come back and haunt you when they're grown up and gone
F C F D
No matter what happens I still love you my son.
[Verse 2]
D F G D
I never gave up when you were behind bars
F C G D
I still saw your name among heavenly stars
D F G D
I hope you still love me thou I caused you pain
F C G D
I will always have hope you’ll come back home again
[Chorus]
F C D
Hard lessons to learn for one and for all
F C D
The things that are done to make sure they don't fall
F C Dm7 G
They come back and haunt you when they're grown up and gone
F C F D
No matter what happens I still love you my son.
[Verse 3]
D F G D
I brought you back when you wandered astray
F C G D
I probably could have done it a much better way
D F G D
When torrent of headwinds push towards heaven’s brink
F C G D
It takes more than kind words to make a hard winds sink
[Chorus]
F C D
Hard lessons to learn for one and for all
F C D
The things that are done to make sure they don't fall
F C Dm7 G
They come back and haunt you when they're grown up and gone
F C F D
No matter what happens I still love you my son.
[Verse 4]
D F G D
I hope you remember I was there when you called
F C G D
Day or night it didn’t matter at all
D F G D
The bells that I rung seemed right at the time
F C G D
But heartfelt intentions become distant chimes
[Chorus]
F C D
Hard lessons to learn for one and for all
F C D
The things that are done to make sure they don't fall
F C Dm7 G
They come back and haunt you when they're grown up and gone
F C F D
No matter what happens I still love you my son.
