Routine Maintenance chords by Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties

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
           C                          Cmaj9
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

Cmaj9 F7M G C Cmaj9  F7M G

verse 4
       Am                         G
In the years since we spread your ashes
C                   Cmaj9            F7M
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

Verse 5
                   F7M                   G
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
