Verse 1:
 

   Am      G        C         F 
My old man bought a big bass boat 
       Am            G         C      F 
When I think of that summer of hope I choke 
      Am         G              C              F 
Cause even if we didn't catch a little bit of something 
     Am        G           C            F 
We'd park that boat by the bluff at the days inn 
        Am           G            C          F 
I got a need to find trouble when things are alright 
  Am       G           C       F 
I pine for pain in the morning light 
    Am           G            C       F 
And even with my baby sitting next to me 
      Am       G         C       Am 
I'm a self sabotaging suicide machine 



           Am     G      C 
And you're going, going, going 
 C 
Til the Lord calls you home in 
     G                                  F 
Your work boots and your worn coveralls 
           Am         G          C 
And you'll show them, show them, show them 
          C 
With your high collateral loan on 
     G                                         F 
That home where your children play with dolls

Verse 2:

             Am          G             C        F 
Cause I was raised by a woman who was hardly impressed 
      Am         G         C          F 
And I carry that shit real deep in my chest 
       Am           G            C       F 
Cause I ain't ever been one for cheap excuses 
     Am            G             C              F 
And apologies have always been a little late or useless 
           Am           G             C              F 
But if you give me four minutes and a little 'bit of time 
     Am            G       C             F 
I'll make them old days an old friend of mine 
    Am            G             C        F 
And I can talk to God and I can pray all day 
        Am         G                  C           F 
But you can't heal something that you never raised 



           Am     G      C 
And you're going, going, going 
 C 
On Thanksgiving day 
           G                           F 
When you're sneaking off to drink some alcohol 
           Am         G          C 
And you'll show them, show them, show them 
             C 
While you're kissing all the knees of 
G                                  F 
Every scrape and every bloody fall
