Genesis
No Son Of Mine
We Can't Dance (1991)

(tic-tac et battement de cœur)

Em  C/E  D/E  Bsus4/E  Em  D/E  Bm/E  C/E  w/ éléphant

         Em           C         D             Bsus4
Well the key to my survival was never in much doubt
    Em               D                 Bm                   C
The question was how I could keep sane tryin' to find a way out
Em                C                     D                Bsus4
Things were never easy for me, peace of mind was hard to find
      D                    A7            C                      G
And I needed a place where I could hide, somewhere I could call mine

I didn't think much about it 'til it started happenin' all the time          (drum)
Soon I was livin' with the fear everyday of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the cryin' 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                     E                 D/E                E
  They say that time is a healer and now my wounds are not the same
  D/E                     E                    D/E                   E             
  I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth, I had to hear what he'd say

  C/G               G           D/A                          Am7
  He sat me down to talk to me, he looked me straight in the eyes, he said
  
  D      C/D            G/D       C/D   D      C/D            G/D       C/D
  You're no son, you're no son of mine, you're no son, you're no son of mine
  G   D/G             C/G            G          D/G            C/G       D/G
  You walked out, you left us behind and you're no son, you're no son of mine
  
  G  D/G  C/G  G  D/G         C/G                          D/G
                      Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
  Em  D/E  C/D  D  C            D/C          C     D/C
                     And as the time it went by, I lived to regret it

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

Em  C/E  D/E  Bsus4/E  Em  D/E  Bm/E  C/E  w/ éléphant

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 runnin' away
In and out of hidin' places, soon I'd have to face the facts
We'd have to sit down and talk it over and that would mean goin' back

  Refrain

  Em                    C               D   Bsus4
  You're no son, you're no son of mine, oh, you're no son
  Ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, you're no son, you're no son
  
  Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh  x N  w/ no son ad lib
