1. The dining room fell silent, I can't believe what I just said
            a                                  H7
    I just told my dad he's full of it, and I watched his face turn red.
            e                                 C
    And I should've said, "I'm sorry", but I matched him shout for shout,
                a                                        H7                 e
    and I can still hear that screen door slammin', the night I called him out.

           G              D       a                  e
He said, "Son it's gonna hurt me more than it hurts you."
         a              D                 H7
But somehow I couldn't help, but have my doubts.
            G              D        a                e
'Cause I'd seen my older brothers crawl back in the house,
      C                    D       e
each time they called the old man out.

    e                                D
2.    Fist to fist, and eye to eye,     standin' toe to toe,
 a                                             H7
    he would've let me walk away,  but I just would not let it go.
     e                           C
    Years of my frustration had led me to this night,
               a               H7                   e
    now he'll pay for all the times that he's been right.   + REFRAIN 

           e                         D
3. It was over in a minute, that's when I realized,
          a
    the blood came from my mouth and nose,           (Garth Brooks)
             H7
    but the tears came from his eyes.
            e                                         C
    And in memory of that fateful night, I know the greatest pain was his,
                 a                H7              e
    and I just pray some day I'm half the man he is.       + REFRAIN  +
          G              D          a                  e
    Just like my older brothers I crawled back in the house,
         C                  D       e
    the night I called the old man out.  (H7 = B7)
