Chris Difford - Broken Family
(Difford/Hewerdine)
From the 2008 studio album, The Last Temptation of Chris.
[Intro]
G | C G | [x2]
[Verse 1]
G C G
I wish I’d been a better dad in-stead of being distant
C G
I read them books and went to school and tried so hard to listen
Em B7 G A
But then I went a-way, I witnessed faces full of tears
G C G
It seemed like every day the warning shots fell on deaf ears
[Link]
F | C |
[Verse 2]
G C G
I wish I’d been there all the time to see the children growing
G C
I had to leave to save them from the pain I wasn’t showing
Em B7 G A
But then it seemed so wrong, I could have been a different man
G C G
But one day it had all just gone it didn’t go to plan
[Chorus]
Am Bm C D
I’m sorry I was not there
Am Bm C D
Me and your mother, we will always care
Am Bm C D
What we have means so much to me
F C G
The strongest love in our broken family
[Link]
G | C G |
[Verse 3]
G C G
I wish I’d been a better dad and now I’m feeling worried
G C G
We walked to school, we played guitar each moment seemed so hurried
Em B7 G A
We learnt to love our-selves we loved the things we hadn't done
G C G
My heart is overwhelmed by the things that make us one
[Chorus]
Am Bm C D
I’m sorry I was not there
Am Bm C D
Me and your mother, we will always care
Am Bm C D
What we have means so much to me
