Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
Am
You hadn't seen your
father in such a long time
He died in the arms of his lover,
how dare he?
F
Your mother never left the house
Dm
D
F#m
She never married anyone else
Esus4
You took it upon yourself
E
A
to console her
Verse 2
her so much
A
Am
of your father
So you were banished and you
Wonder why you're so hypersensitive
E
And why you can't trust anyone but us
Am
F
But then how can I begin to forgive her
D
bridges with dirty water
F#m
She was foolish and selfish
E
Esus4
And cowardly if you ask me
E
Verse 3
Am
I don't know where to begin
In all of my fifty odd years
I have been silently suffering
And adapting,
A
Am
perpetuating and enduring
Verse 4
Dm
younger generation to tell me
D
That I have unresolved problems
F#m
Not many examples of fruits
E
Esus4
Of this type of excruciating labor
E
Verse 5
Am
How can you just throw words around
Like grieve and heal and mourn
I feel fine, we may not have been born
E
Am
As awake as you were
F
It was much harder in those days
Dm
We had paper routes,
F#m
We went from school, to a job to a wife
E
Esus4
To instant parenthood
E
Verse 6
Am
I walked into his office
I felt so self-conscious on on the couch
He was sitting down across from me
A
He was writing down his hypothesis,
F
I've got a loving supportive wife
Dm
Who doesn't know how
D
involved she should get
F#m
You say his interjecting
E
Esus4
E
Was him just calling me on my shit?
Verse 7
E
Am
Just the other day, my sweet daughter
I was driving past 203
I walked up the stairs in my
mind's eye
I remember how they would creak loudly
F
She was only responsive with a drink
Dm
He was only responsive by photo
D
F#m
I was only trying to be
Esus4
E
The best big brother I could
Verse 8
Am
I've walked sometimes confused
Sometimes ready to crack
open wide
Sometimes indignant, sometimes raw
Can you imagine,
F
I pay him seventy-five dollars dollars an hour?
Am
Dm
Sometimes it feels like highway robbery
D
F#m
And sometimes it's peanuts
E
Esus4
E
I wish it could last a couple more hours
Verse 9
battling similar demons
Not coincidentally
You seen getting beyond knowing
it solely intellectually
You're not relinquishing your majesty
F
You are wise you are warm
Gm
Dm
D
Dm
You are courageous, you are big
D
F#m
And I love you more now
E
Than I ever have in my whole life
