[Verse 1]
C           F           Am
 When I grab you by the hand,
    G
you hesitate
C          F        Am             G     C
 With a subtle inclination to tell a man straight
        F         Am              G          C
Your sister was a savior and your mother is a saint
            F            Am             G
Sometimes a woman is the sum of all the things her father
C
ain't
    F                Am             G
And men are just the sum of all the things their mothers
C
did
             F            Am                G
They'll spend their lives searchin' for the love they had
   C
as kids
     F            Am         G             C
My vices ain't in place to replace a loving home
         F          Am                G           C
You can't expect to harvest where the field's halfgrown

[Chorus]
          Am     G         C
You can't choose your blood
But you can choose to change the chains that chained you
                      G
down When you was just
 Am
a  child
                                  G
And forgiveness ain't an easy road to go
          C                                   F
But I know that it's a road worth headin' down

[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Am      F           Am     G         C
  When I see myself,  I see your eyes
      F         Am         G            C
Reflections nowadays are a calm surprise
           F     Am           G    C
With the older I get, the more I become
              F       Am          G    C
All the things I swore  I'd always run from
              F         Am         G              C
But I'll raise myself a family and right the wrong
          F                       Am       G    C
Of some imperfect people who were only halfgrown

[Chorus]
                 Am     G         C
'Cause you can't choose your blood
But you can choose to change the chains that chained you
                      G
down When you was just
 Am
a  child
                                  G
And forgiveness ain't an easy road to go
          C                              F
But I know that it's a road worth headin' down

[Outro]
C           F           Am
 When I grab you by the hand,
    G
you hesitate
C          F        Am             G     C
 With a subtle inclination to tell a man straight
        F         Am              G        C
Your sister was a savior and your mother is a saint
            F            Am             G
Sometimes a woman is the sum of all the things her father
C
