Am   G
C    G    F
Verse:
      Am           G
I was workin' on a plan
   Am           G          F
to disappear completely
   Am          G
Gaslightin' my friends
     C              G      F
into thinkin' I was busy
          Am             G
'Cause if drinkin' was a day job,
       Am              G         F
I'd be askin' for more money
        Am           G
Hell, I never take a day off,
        C              G              F
and I'm always sellin' somethin'
 
Pre-Chorus:
    Am           G
Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A,
       Am              G       F
Didn't know you drove American cars
    Am           G
Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day
           C                 G            F
But you're here and we're so grateful you are
 
Chorus:
                    G                    F
'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up
             C                           Am
Honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough
                G                         F
You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
           C
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
 
Verse 2:
              Am            G
And I hate to drag you back here,
      Am                G        F
but I think he's really lost it (Woo!)
          Am             G
He's been sittin' on the porch,
    C              G           F
oh, ranting like a prophet
            Am        G
And I can't stand the nights,
           Am          G          F
yeah, that dinner time silence
          Am             G
I cut the tension with a knife,
      C                G        F
and I pray you started drivin'
 
Pre-Chorus:
    Am           G
Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A,
       Am              G       F
Didn't know you drove American cars
    Am           G
Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day
           C                 G            F
But you're here and we're so grateful you are
 
Chorus:
                    G                    F
'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up
             C                           Am
Honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough
                G                         F
You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
           C
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
 
Bridge:
F              G              Am              B
               Make it stop
make him talk,
F              G              Am              B
               All I want                     is a dialogue
F              G              Am              B
     Oh, we're drownin' here
I've gotta stay for Mom
C                             D
 
F              G              Am              B
      Make the house a home
you know how to talk
F              G              Am              B
     Well, you did back then
we would talk so much
F              G              Am              B
      And it's fine we don't
but can you come home?
C                             D
 
 
Chorus:
                    G                    F
'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up
             C                           Am
Honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough
                G                         F
You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
           C                     Am
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
 
Outro:
                G                         F
You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back
           C               Am
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
               G
Oh, whenever I ask
           F               C
Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
