Verse:
                                         Eb
I knew he loved his whiskey
                                    Ab
I knew he loved his wine
                     Eb
But I was never quite sure if he loved me
                 Bb
And I always wondered why
                                  Eb
I didn’t want his money
               Fm         Eb/G        Ab
Lord knows he didn’t have much
                        Eb      
Maybe this guitar he gave me
         Bb                         Eb
Was his “I believe in you son”

Chorus:
                            Ab                        
I didn’t get forgiveness 
                                       Eb
for the smallest of things
                    Ab
But I got who he was 
                                           Bb  
and who I didn’t want to be
                      Eb
God I’m thankful for 
           Fm      Eb/G     Ab
the beauty in the mess
                                 Fm
I wouldn’t be the man I am today
         Ab             Bb             Eb
I guess that’s my inheritance

Instrumental:
Eb   Fm  Eb/G  Ab

Verse 2:
                                     Eb
There ain’t much of nothin’
                        Ab
That I didn’t try
                       Eb
Looking for love in every wrong place
                             Bb
Didn’t make it right
                       Eb
I hurt a lot people
   Fm        Eb/G         Ab   
‘Cause hurt people hurt
                      Eb
And sayin’ sorry when you’re 
            Bb                         Eb
not sorry man it never works

Chorus:
                            Ab                        
I didn’t get forgiveness 
                                       Eb
for the smallest of things
                    Ab
But I got who he was 
                                           Bb  
and who I didn’t want to be
                      Eb
God I’m thankful for 
           Fm      Eb/G     Ab
the beauty in the mess
                                 Fm
I wouldn’t be the man I am today
         Ab             Bb             Eb
I guess that’s my inheritance

Bridge:
                             Eb
I ran like hell to Jesus
                                           Ab
Didn’t know what else to do
            Eb        
He showed me his hands
                                                      Bb
And He said, “Son I did this for you”
                             Cm                  Bb         Ab
And you’ll be a daddy like you never knew
                        Cm7           
‘Cause I take broken things
Bb                         Eb
 and make ‘em new

Chorus:
                            Ab                        
I didn’t get forgiveness 
                                       Eb
for the smallest of things
                    Ab
But I got who he was 
                                           Bb  
and who I didn’t want to be
                      Eb
God I’m thankful for 
           Fm      Eb/G     Ab
the beauty in the mess
                                 Fm
I wouldn’t be the man I am today
         Ab             Bb             Eb
I guess that’s my inheritance
