|Am    |Em    |F    |C  C/B |   x2

Verse:
-----
Am                  Em
   So you decide to go
                       F
Leave everything you know
               C          C/B
To look for a better day
Am                           Em
   Leave with your wife and kids
                        F
Start traveling to the sea
               C      C/B
To make it to safety

Pre-chorus:
-----------
Dm            Am         Dm
   While our ministers debate
    F       C        Am
On how to close the gates
     G                F
You help your family on that boat
Dm          Am             Dm
    And as meetings are adjourned
      F      C    Am
Your boat is overturned
        G                 F
In the cold and dark you let them go
              Dsus4   D9sus4
You let them go

Chorus:
-------
     Am                   F                    C
I’m sorry I’ll say it for me, I’ll say it for you
                  G                    Am
I’ll say it for everyone who’s hurting too
            F
I’ll say it for me
                 C                                 G
I’ll say it for every father that feels this way too
     Am
I’m sorry

Interlude:
----------
|Am    |F     |C     |G     |

Verse:
------
Am                   Em
   I saw you on the news
                    F
I had to explain my son
             C        C/B
Why this is happening
Am                            Em
   He said “We have an extra bed
                           F
And most of my friends do too
                         C     C/B
Why don’t we invite them in?”

Pre-chorus:
-----------
Dm                   Am      F
   Wise words from on 8 year old
           G      Am
So simple and so bold
        G              F
That’s how we are all raised I hope
Dm           Am          F
   Still our ministers debate
               G        Am
Still closing down the gates
       G        F       Dsus4   D9sus4
We let go of humanity

Chorus:
-------
     Am                   F                    C
I’m sorry I’ll say it for me, I’ll say it for you
                  G                    Am
I’ll say it for everyone who’s hurting too
                F
I’ll say it for me
                 C                                G
I’ll say it for every father that feels this way too
     Am                   F                    C 
I’m sorry I’ll say it for me, I’ll say it for you
                 G                          Am
I’ll say it for presidents and politicians too
 Am               F                   C
I’ll say it for me, I’ll say it for you
                  G                    Am
I’ll say it for everyone who’s hurting too
Am                F                    C
 I’ll say it for me, I’ll say it for you
                  G                    Am
I’ll say it for everyone who’s hurting too
