Intro
C - Am - F - G
Verse
C
My father had dementia
Em
He lied in bed for months
Am
Once in a while he'd call me
F Fm
And ask me to fly down
Dm
I told him that I'd love to
F
But I had things to do
C G Am
And so he died without his son
F Fm
I heard about it drunk after a show
C
My mother battled cancer
Em
For over seven years
Am
I nursed her and I held her
F Fm
When time was running out
Dm
The night before she left me
F
I drank scotch all night
C G Am
And thanked her for everything she'd done
F Fm
Raising me alone wasn't much fun
Chorus
C
So dad I can forgive you,
G
But I'll never forget,
Dm F
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did
C
You'd be out with your friends all night
G
Alone and only nine
Dm
I watched the outer limits
F
And scared out of my mind
C
I wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died
Am
I wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around
Dm
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song
Outro
C Am
2006 goodbye parents
F
For once I'm sincere
C
2006 that was my orphan year
C - B7 - Em
Lyrics:
My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while he'd call me
And ask me to fly down
I told him that I'd love to
But I had things to do
And so he died without his son
I heard about it drunk after a show
My mother battled cancer
For over seven years
I nursed her and I held her
When time was running out
The night before she left me
I drank scotch all night
And thanked her for everything she'd done
Raising me alone wasn't much fun
So dad I can forgive you,
But I'll never forget,
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did
You'd be out with your friends all night
Alone and only nine
I watched the outer limits
And scared out of my mind
I wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died
I wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song
2006 goodbye parents
For once I'm sincere
2006 that was my orphan year
