Chords with lyrics
Am
F
Ignore your mother's screams and leave today
You should've done this years ago
Am
Why are you still at home?
F
Shoving down all the things you need to say?
Dm
Suffering for no reason
G
A lonely son
Am F
I've wasted my life
C
Writing at night
G
Driving by day
Am
But now it's clear
F
Year after year
C
Long as I'm here
G
It's safe to say I'll never
Am F
Be the son that you wanted
C G
Or even the son you accepted
Am F
So that's gonna be how we left it?
C G
You screaming at me?
Am
And me walking out
F
So I'm out
C G
Out of ways to make you happy
Am
I'm running out
F
Yes I'm out
C G
I don't know it's time to go
Am F
And I love you but you'll never see me
C G Am F
The way I see myself when I'm alone
C G
With a notebook and a microphone
Am
When I write a song
F Am
I am somewhere miles beyond this place
F G
Everything feels electric, connected
Am
When I write a song
F Am
I imagine you nodding your head in time
F G
Listening the way you listen to your boleros
Am F
I wanted to cry
C G
When you stood by me and you handed me
Am
Your keys
F
Lincoln, take these
C
I couldn't breathe
G Am
I never cease to let you down
F
I'll never live
C G
Up to your expectations
Am F
So this is the situation
C G
You're getting upset
Am
And I'm getting out
F
I am out
C G
Out of patience with this family
Am
I'm running out
F
Yes I'm out
C G
And it's time, it's way past time
Am F
After 24 years of only hearing you
C G
Shout
Am
It's crystal clear
F C G
You don't know what I'm about
Am
So Mami, Nina
F
Sorry, see ya
C G
Please, no crying allowed
Am
I'll be back
F C G
When I've made you proud
Am G C
Peace and I'm out!
