A5                                                     A/D
When I was just a kid everything I did, was to be like him
      A5
Under my skin
A5
My father always thought if I was strong and fought
                   Asus    A              D
Not like some albatross, I'd begin to fit in
       A      F#m7       C#7        D
Look at me powerless and holding my breath
       A       F#m7         C#7           D
Trying hard to repress what scared him to death
       Bm    A/C#   E  A      C#m7    D
It was never easy     to be his type of man
          G     E     C#7        F#m
To breathe freely was not in his plan
        Bm7  A/C#    D              Bm7   A   E
And the best part of me   Is what he wouldn't see
 
    D      A       D
I'm not my fathers son
    D       A        Bm7     A/C#    D
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
         Bm7         A/C#            A    Bm7  A/C#  D
With the strength of Sparta and  the  patience  of  Job
              E/F#  F#m7  Bm7           E/F#  F#m7  Bm7
Still couldn't be   the   one   To echo what  he'd  done
           E       Esus         A      E            D
And mirror what    was    not    in     me
 
     A            F#m        C#7      D
So I jumped in my dreams and found an escape
        A        F#m         C#7        D
Maybe I went to extremes of leather and lace
        Bm7          A/C#    E    A      C#m7     D
But the world seems brighter  six inches off the ground
        G          E         C#7       F#m        Bm7    A/C#   D
And the air seemed lighter   I was profound and I felt   so     proud
        Bm7  A   E
Just to live out loud
 
D      A       D
I'm not my fathers son
    D       A        Bm7   A/C#   D
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
         Bm7         A/C#            A    Bm7  A/C#  D
With the strength of sparta and  the  patience  of  job
              E/F#  F#m7  Bm7           E/F#  F#m7  Bm7
Still couldn't be   the   one   To echo what  he'd  done
           E       Esus         A      E            D
And mirror what    was    not    in     me
 
Bm7                    D/E        C#m7               F#m
The endless story of expectations swirling inside my mind
G#m7  F#7/A#    Bm7
Wore  me     down
Bm7         D/E     E         C#7            F#m
I came to a realization and I finally turned around
E    D              Bm     A/C#     D       E
To   see       That I could just be me
 
D      A       D
I'm not my fathers son
    D       A        Bm7   A/C#   D
I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
         Bm7         A/C#            A    Bm7  A/C#  D
With the strength of sparta and  the  patience  of  job
              E/F#  F#m7  Bm7           E/F#  F#m7  Bm7
Still couldn't be   the   one   To echo what  he'd  done
           E       Esus         A      E            D
And mirror what    was    not    in     me
 
            A     E
We're  the  same  Charlie  Boy
