Em               C
1. Well the key to my survival
   D             B
   Was never in much doubt
   Em               D
   The question was how I could keep sane
   B                C
   Trying to find a way out
   
   Em                 C
   Things were never easy for me
   D                B
   Peace of mind was hard to find
   D                    A
   And I needed a place where I could hide
   C                      G
   Somewhere I could call mine

2. I didn't think much about it
   Til it started happening all the time
   Soon I was living with the fear everyday
   Of what might happen that night
   
   I couldn't stand to hear the
   Crying of my mother and I remember when
   I swore that, that would be the last they'd see of me
   And I never went home again

   D                       E
*: They say the time is a healer
   D                  E
   And now my wounds are not the same
   D                        E
   I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
   D                     E
   I had to hear what he'd say
   C                  G
   He sat me down to talk to me
   D                             A
   He looked me straight in the eyes

R1: He said:
    D       G              D         C
    You're no son, you're no son of mine
    D       G              D         C
    You're no son, you're no son of mine
    G                   C       D
    You walked out, you left us behind
    G                  C9        D   G  G  C  C
    And you're no son, no son of mine  
    C                                D          Em      C   D
    Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
    C                         C     D
    And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it

    Em                    C             D
R2: You're no son, you're no son of mine
    D
    But where should I go,
    C
    And what should I do
    Em                    C
    You're no son, you're no son of mine
    D                             C           Em
    But I came here for help, oh I came here for you

C - D - Bsus4 - Em - D - Bm - C

3. Well the years they passed so slowly
   I thought about him everyday
   What would I do, if we passed on the street
   Would I keep running away

   In and out of hiding places
   Soon I'd have to face the facts
   We'd have to sit down and talk it over
   And that would mean going back

*: They say the time...

R1: He said...
   
R2: You're no son, you're no son of mine
    But where should I go,
    And what should I do
    You're no son, you're no son of mine
    But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you

Em                    C                D
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh
Bsus4              Em                C                D
You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah ha yeah
Bsus4                   Em           C     D  Bsus4
You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
