verse 1
C
     C          Cmaj9
All of us here under the same roof again
          F7M
I'm sitting in your favorite chair
         G
Playing with the fraying threads
        C
I'm sleeping in Catherine's room
   Cmaj9
In a twin sized bed
           F7M           G
She shares mine with Colin 'cause it's got more space for him
          Am              G
And Pop, she ain't in no shape, to take care of anything

verse 2
           F7M               G
So I'll bring him to school, and tell him that it's okay
     C       G
I try to look half-put-together
    F
So the teachers know he's safe
          F7M            G
And I'm raking the leaves, I'm unclogging the drain
         C        Cmaj9     C
I'm trying to be someone you can count on for a change

Cmaj9 F7M G

verse 3

Out in the garage, to the tune of the evening news
         F7M          G
Mom needs her oil changed, it's six months overdue
         C              Cmaj9
And I spent those freezing nights, shaking out here with you
      F7M                G
Holding the flashlight still, guess I learned a thing or two
        Am              G
And Colin seems interested, so I act like I'm good at this

         F7M        G
So I pull out the plug and letting it drain
     C       Cmaj9     F7M
Trying to find the right filter to replace
         F7M        G
And I'm doing the wash and touching up paint
       C        Cmaj9     C
I'm tryna be someone you can count on for a change

In the years since we spread your ashes

Sammy got traded to L.A. and then to Kansas
    Am           G
In the years since everything happened
C           Cmaj9     F7M     C
I've been out looking for where the light went
       G7         F
I think I've found out where the light is

So I'm packing his lunch then I'm going to bed
C        Cmaj9      F7M
I don't want to see how dark the night gets
         F7M
And I'm shoveling snow
          G
And I'm fixing the gate
        C        Cmaj9     C
I'm going to be someone you can count on for a change
