 Verse: 
F#m  
The dining room fell silent  
          E  
I can't believe what I just said  
       Bm  
I just told my dad he's full of it  
      C#7  
And I watched his face turn red  
             F#m 
Well, then I should've said, "I'm sorry"  
      D  
But I matched him shout for shout  
           Bm  
I can still hear that screen door slammin'  
    C#7              F#m 
The night I called him out 
 
    1       1

Chorus:  
          A                   E   Bm                  F#m 
He said, "Son, it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you"

But somehow I couldn't help but have my doubts

Each time they called the old man out  
 
PLAY INTRO 
 
Verse: 
Fist to fist and eye to eye  
Standin' toe to toe  
He would've let me walk away   
But I just would not let it go  
Years of my frustration   
Had lead me to this night  
Now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right  
  
Chorus:  
  
Bridge:  
F#m 
It was over in a minute  
 
       E 
That's when I realized  
 
Bm 
The blood came from my mouth and nose  
 
        C#7 
But the tears came from my eyes  
 
         F#m 
And in a memory of that fateful night  
 
  D 
I know the greatest pain was his  
 
              Bm             F#m 
And I just pray some day I'm half the man he is  
  
Chorus:  
  
Just like my older brothers  
crawled back in the house  
 
     1              1
