🎸 Verse 1:
DmDm             C majorC
  I guess you could call it text book
   G minorGm
I was looking for the father
     DmDm
I wanted back
DmDm              C majorC
  And I thought I found it in Brentwood
     G minorGm                  A7A7
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily had my back
DmDm            FF
  And then there was the issue of her
       C majorC                G minorGm
I didn't even like myself, or love the life I had
            DmDm
And there you were with shinin' stars
          FF
Standin' clear with open arms
        C majorC                       G minorGm
You touched the detriment, most of the friends I knew already had

🎸 Chorus:
Bb majorBb             FF
  You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too
C majorC             DmDm
  Let's rewrite his story, I'll do this dance with you
Bb majorBb
  You know I'm not that girl
FF
  You know I'll never be
C majorC              DmDm
  Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
Bb majorBb                      FF                 C majorC
  And there we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd by the Old Man River
            DmDm
And I saw you saw who I am
Bb majorBb              FF                 C majorC
  God, I wish I was with my father, he could see us in all our splendor
                  DmDm
All the things I couldn't want for him
        Bb majorBb    FF
I screamed for them, oh, oh, oh
        C majorC   DmDm
And screamed for them, ah

🎸 Verse 2:
DmDm         C majorC
  Could we do this dance again?
    G minorGm                       DmDm
Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back?
DmDm            C majorC
  I guess this is really the end
  G minorGm                         A7A7
I never felt jealous before this year, but I'm jealous now
DmDm         FF
  People say we're too much alive
          C majorC
But maybe if I lay dead that would make right in the end
            G minorGm
Of all these sleepless nights
      DmDm
Other men I met felt right
            FF
Would smile at you and stick a knife
    C majorC
In your back
                    G minorGm
Finally, I met you so I'm not wonderin' why


🎸 Chorus:
Bb majorBb             FF
  You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too
C majorC             DmDm
  Let's rewrite his story, I'll do this dance with you
Bb majorBb
  You know I'm not that girl
FF
  You know I'll never be
C majorC              DmDm
  Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
Bb majorBb                      FF                 C majorC
  And there we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd by the Old Man River
            DmDm
And I saw you saw who I am
Bb majorBb              FF                 C majorC
  God, I wish I was with my father, he could see us in all our splendor
                  DmDm
All the things I couldn't want for him
        Bb majorBb    FF
I screamed for them, oh, oh, oh
        C majorC   DmDm
And screamed for them, ah


🎸 Outro:
          Bb majorBb    FF
Old Man River keeps rollin'
        C majorC
With or without him
DmDm        Bb majorBb
  Old Man River keeps rollin'
FF              C majorC
 Without him, oh my old man
DmDm         Bb majorBb FF     C majorC
Old Man River keeps rollin', oh
