A
I'll tell you how it went
[A]
And all the time we spent
D
Trying to make something of us
C#m D
Something we knew but never was
A
Laid faced down on the bed
[A]
And spoke in tongues with the dead
D
The times you saw me lose my cool
C#m D
The stares were blank, the words were cruel
D E
But what if I was the problem the whole time?
A
Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige
D
The ground just opened wide and ate me whole

Why am I so happy I could die?
A
There were no words to say goodbye
D
The ground just opened wide and ate you whole

Figured they'd figure out soon

And no one knows the truth
C#m D
Pete Rose and Babe Ruth

What if you got there to see

No blinding lights or smiling teeth

I'd tell you you were wrong all along
D
You'd tell me that you hate me

But what if I was the problem the whole time?
A
Well, I'd beg forgiveness and oblige
D
The ground just opened wide and ate me whole
[D] E
Why am I so happy I could die?
