[Verse 1]
Em Am
I was there when you needed me most
C Am
I was there when you wanted me least
Em Am C Am
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest
Em Am
Through your failures and success
C Am
Through your losses and gains
Em Am C Am
I didn’t see much happiness or pain
[Chorus]
F Em Dm Dm
I couldn’t save your soul
F Em Dm Dm
I couldn’t even take you home
F Em Dm Dm
I couldn’t fill that hole
F F F F
Alone

[Verse 2]
Em Am
I saw you at your best
C Am
I knew you at your worst
Em Am C Am
I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed
Em Am
There’s a thin grey line
C Am
Between the black and the white
Em Am C Am
It’s evidently hard to find at night
[Chorus]
F Em Dm Dm
I couldn’t save your soul
F Em Dm Dm
I couldn’t even take you home
F Em Dm Dm
I couldn’t play that role
F F F F
Alone
[Bridge]
G G
Now it’s too
G G F Em Em
Too late for words that should have been said
Em
Long ago

I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest
