[Verse]
          Am                      F         G7
If you're looking for a reason to freeze to death
Am                                F        G7
Manny can you feel that it's your father's breath
          Am                            F          G7
If you're scared as shit to talk about your family truths
                 Am                           F
Just know that I believe, and I always will believe
   G7  G
In you

       Dm                       G    G*
If you lay another hand on your son, sir
  Am       G              F
I swear to god, I'm gonna waste you
        Dm                         G        G*
You can holler, you can cry, sober up, apologise
    Am     G    F
But still, what good are you?

Dm                G              C    G         F
If I don't give a fuck about the ties that bind a...
  Dm            G
A father to his son
                  Am   C       F  Dm    G7
If he's just some dead weight, deadbeat drunk

           Am                                    F         G7
Well I can show you all the things he's going to steal and sell
              Am                               F     G7
And still you hold him to your ear just like a paper shell
          Am                       F            G7
Oh, I can take you on a tour of my old neighbourhood
                Am                            F
Here it is, the bathtub where you'll find the love of your life
G7             G
Choking up his own blood

      Dm                            G    G* Am     G        F
Well, a junkie's got a fire that is burning hotter than the brightest star
       Dm                    G
And if he don't put it out himself
         G*                Am               G      F
It's the needles, it's the spoons, it's the little white balloons

Dm                   G               C        G      F
I wish I didn't give a fuck about the ties that bind us
    Dm                    G
The blood, the guts, even little paper cuts
              Am      C      F    Dm    G7
These are the ones we love
