[Intro]
G D G D
(2x)

[Verse]
G D G D
When I grow up to be a man
G D G D
Like my father was when I was young
G D G D
I hope I can make him so proud of me
G D G D
Proud enough to call me his son

[Instrumental]

G D C D G C
(2x)

[Verse]
G D C
What makes these people so different now
G C D
What makes these times so strange?
G D C
Seems most people got most everything they need
G C
How come we see this change

[Chorus]
D Em Am
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
D Em Am
Their smile is fading fast, they’re losing their soul
G C D G C
When will we ever learn, yet I’m a believer

[Verse]
G D C
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
G D C
This world seemed a nicer place to be
G D C
But time slowly passes and one day you look around
G D C
You hardly recognize what you see

[Chorus]
D Em Am
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
D Em Am
Their smile is fading fast, they’re losing their soul
G C D G C
Now when will we ever learn, yet I’m a believer

G G Am7 Am7
Dm7 C
They’re beyond our control

[Bridge]
Bm E
We’re all sons of our fathers
Bm E
Sometimes I feel like mine
F#m C#m
And I can hear him say, the things I say
E D
Seems all things come around in time

[Instrumental]
G D C D G C
(2x)

[Verse]
G C D
Why these things happen we’ll never know
G C
Guess that was then and this is now
G C
We always knew that change was gonna come
G C
But I want to go back, please tell me how

[Chorus]
D Em Am
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
D Em Am
Their smile is fading fast, they’re losing their soul
G C D G C
When will we ever learn, yet I’m a believer

[Outro]

They’re beyond our control

Oh, beyond our control
