Chord/Tab song: Heirloom

Standard Tuning

Capo 2: in C (D without capo)

Intro: Hold C

Verse 1 (G/B, Am, F, C)
You try your hardest to leave the past alone.
This crooked posture is all you?ve ever known.
It is the consequence of living in between
The weight of family and the pull of gravity.

Chorus: (Am, G, F)
You are so much more than your fathers son.
You are so much more than what Ive become.

Hold C before next Verse
Verse 2 (G/B, Am, F, C)
Long before you were born there was light
Hidden deep in these young, unfamiliar eyes.
A million choices, though little on their own,
Become the heirloom of the heaviness you?ve known.

Chorus: (Am, G, F)
You are so much more than your fathers son.
You are so much more than what Ive become,
What Ive become,
What Ive become.

Bridge: (Hold Am before)

[Am]You pressed re[G/B]wind
For the thous[C]andth time
When the tapes wore thr[F]ough.
S[Am]o you memor[G/B]ized
Those unscripted line[C]s,
Desperate for some kind of[F] clue:
[Am]When the scale tipped,[G/B]
When you inherit[C]ed
A fight that you were born to lo[F]se.
[Am]Its not your fault,[G/B]
No, its not your faul[C]t,
I put this heavy heart in yo[F]u.
[C/E]I put this heavy heart in [F]you.

Hold C

Verse 3: (G/B, Am, F, C)
You remind me of who I could have been,
Had I been stronger and braver way back then.
A million choices, though little on their own,
Became the heirloom of the heaviness we?ve known.

End Chorus: (Am, G, F)
You are so much more than your fathers son.
You are so much more than the wars youve won.
You are so much more than your fathers son.
You are so much more than what Ive become.
(Repeat the run)
What I've become(2x)
