Verse 1:
C majorC             A minorAm
Dad I'll ever put this on a record
C majorC  FF        G+G
It's more a letter to you
C majorC         G+G          A minorAm
I remeber all them nights that we spent together
C majorC        FF       G+G
I remeber every single I love you
C majorC               A minorAm
Hell you're better off without me
E minorEm    FF      G+G
But I'll always have you
C majorC   G+G      A minorAm
In my heart and in my memory
     C majorC       FF        G+G
And I'll keep you there til my days are few

Chorus:
FF      G+G        A minorAm
So lay your head down on this pillow
FF    G+G    C majorC
Let him hold you tight
FF         G+G      C majorC   A minorAm
Because he didn't hurt you the way I did
FF     G+G       C majorC
And I just wish I was him tonight

Verse 2:
C majorC            A minorAm
And I heard you took up drinking
E minorEm     FF        G+G
I guess you learned that from me
C majorC         A minorAm
I was always gonna quit somehow
E minorEm   FF     G+G
When I started my family
C majorC              A minorAm
We were on the verge of that happiness
E minorEm     FF       G+G
Why did it have to end so soon
C majorC            A minorAm
Dad'll ever put this on a record
   C majorC           FF      G+G
It'll sound just right in a smoke filled room

Chorus:
FF      G+G         A minorAm
So lay your head down on this pillow
FF    G+G    C majorC
Let him hold you tight
FF         G+G      C majorC   A minorAm
Because he didn't hurt you the way I did
FF     G+G       C majorC
And I just wish I was him tonight

Bridge:
FF      G+G      A minorAm
Wish I had a chance to go back
FF    G+G      A minorAm
If I did I'd make it right
FF      G+G           A minorAm
But I don't expect you to believe that
FF     G+G    A minorAm
After all you twice shy
       FF      G+G          C majorC
And I'm still standing on the fighting side of time

Chorus:
FF      G+G         A minorAm
So lay your head down on this pillow
FF    G+G    C majorC
Let him hold you tight
FF         G+G      C majorC   A minorAm
Because he didn't hurt you the way I did
FF     G+G       C majorC
And I just wish I was him tonight
