FF  C/EC/E  A minorAm  G+G  (x2)

Verse 1:
C majorC G+G         C majorC  G+G
   And now that you know why I'm leavin'
FF C/EC/E               A minorAm G+G
  And your mum's yelling out that she hopes I don't come back
C majorC G+G        C majorC   G+G     FF  C/EC/E A minorAm G+G
  Of course she would say that

Verse 2:
C majorC G+G          C majorC  G+G
  Don't forget what I told you about your demons
FF C/EC/E                A minorAm    G+G
  They're just thoughts in your head while you sleep, no more than that
C majorC G+G      C majorC G+G     FF  C/EC/E A minorAm G+G
  Now fetch my duffle bag

Pre-Chorus 1:
E minorEm      A minorAm
 If my ride ain't here, then it's coming
FF   C/EC/E      A minorAm G+G
 I can feel it not so far away
E minorEm        A minorAm
And I know you're angry, young'n
FF C majorC    FF  C majorC
  Dry your eyes up
    FF   C majorC
Or you won't see
    FF  C majorC FF G+G
Big dog walkin-g away

Chorus:
  FF              C/EC/E
Now if you think I'm chasing the seasons
              G+G
Like a van is some place to be
     A minorAm G+G
I'm your stepdad
   FF               C/EC/E
And I know they say I'm scheming of leaving
      G+G       A minorAm G+G
Dreaming my life away
  FF               C/EC/E
But if you see my name in the headlines
              G+G          A minorAm G+G
And they're all pissing on me, I'm your stepdad
   FF              C/EC/E
And I know they say I'm frail and broken
             G+G      A minorAm G+G
But you can't treat your mom that way

Break:
C majorC   G+G   C majorC  G+G

Verse 3:
C majorC G+G         C majorC    G+G
  I'll tell you how I got to Memphis

  Saw your mum on a TV show and that was that
C majorC G+G     C majorC     G+G    FF  C/EC/E   A minorAm G+G
   Both my bags were packed

Verse 4:
C majorC G+G         C majorC   G+G
  I could put you to sleep just by reading
FF C/EC/E       A minorAm   G+G
  Turn the living room into an avalanche
C majorC G+G     C majorC  G+G        FF   C/EC/E   A minorAm G+G
  I loved to make you laugh

Pre-Chorus 2:
E minorEm      A minorAm
 If the paps ain't here, then they're comin'
FF C/EC/E           A minorAm  G+G
  I can hear their flashes blast away
E minorEm     A minorAm
And I know you're tired, young'n
FF C majorC    FF  C majorC
  Time to wise up
    FF   C majorC
Or you won't see

What your dad does for pay

But if you see my name in the headlines
              G+G          A minorAm G+G
And they're all pissing on me, I'm your stepdad
   FF              C/EC/E
And I know they say I'm frail and broken
             G+G      A minorAm G+G
But you can't treat your mom that way
