Verse 1:
BB E MajorE
I thought that mom and dad were ‘sposed to last forever
G# minorG#m F#F#
Like they promised at the altar in Alabama

They were young, in love, and didn’t know any better
G# minorG#m F#F#
Yeah they planned to started a family there together
Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE F#F#
Things they changed when you walked away
G# minorG#m E MajorE
You left me wondering if you ever cared

I wish you stayed but I’ll be okay
G# minorG#m E MajorE
Cause I learned from you that life’s not always fair

BB
I’ve been getting flashbacks

Of hearing you fight behind the door
BB
Know you’ll never call back
E MajorE
I don’t even miss you anymore

BB E MajorE
Driving down the highway to the school yard
G# minorG#m F#F#
And you’d tell me stories ‘bout when you were young

You used to be my hero, then you put up your guard
G# minorG#m E MajorE
I used to be so proud to be your son

From 4 to 3 - when we go out to eat
G# minorG#m E MajorE
And momma’s sitting by herself again

Take me home
G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE
Before we got caught in the undertow
