  S1:
  Heart over mind, yes I'm 

  My father's son 

  I live my life, just like 

  My father's done 

  If he'd've told me, one day 

  That somebody'd have my heart in chains 

  Would I believe it? No way 

  Made up my mind I'd never fall that way

  R1:
  But tell me why every time I try 

  To tell you it's goodbye, I can't seem to let go 

  In my heart I know I want to stay 

  What I'm trying to say
• NCA♭6G7A♭6G7Cmi7Cmi7
  S2:
  Heart over mind, yes I'm 

  My father's son 

  And I'm inclined to do 

  As my father's done

  B1:
  Here I am with you 

  And I know that it's true 

  Despite all the feelings 

  You're putting me through 

  I try to walk away, something makes me stay
