Fa - ther, son, locked as one, in this emp - ty room,
G G/F# G/F Em G/D C Am7 G(type2) Am G/B D4 D
Spine a - gainst spine, yours a - gainst mine, 'til the warmth comes through!

Re - member the breakwaters, down by the waves,
Am7 G/D F/C Em/G
I first found my courage, knowing daddy could save,
D/F# G G/B C C C/B D/F# G G/B C
I could hold back the tide, with my dad by my side!
G G/F# Em G/D C
'Dogs','Plows' and 'Bows', we move through each pose,
G(type2) Am7 G/B D4 D
Struggling in our sep - arate ways,
G G/F# G/F Em G/D C Am7 G(type2) Am G/B D4 D
Mantras and hymns, unfold - ing limbs, looking for re - lease through... the pain!

And the Yogi's eyes are open, looking up a - bove,

He too is dreaming of his daddy's love,

With his dad by his side, got his dad by his side!

Can you re - call how you... took me to school?
G G/B D4 D
We couldn't talk much at all,
D D/C B C B C G(type2) G/B Am G/B D4 D
It's been...so many years, and...now these tears, guess I'm still your child!
G G/F# Em G/D C G(type2) Am7 G/B D4 D
Out on the moors, we take... a pause, see how far we have come,
G G/F# G/F Em G/D C Am7 G(type2) Am G/B D4 D
You're moving quite slow! How far can we go, father and son?
