[Verse 1]
Dm C
I guess you could call it textbook
Gm Dm
I was lookin’ for the father I wanted back
Dm C
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
Gm A7
It seemed only appropriate you’d easily have my back
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
And then there was the issue of her
C Gm
I didn’t even like myself, or love the life I had
Dm F
And there you were with shining stars, standin’ blue with open arms
C Dm
You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had
[Chorus]
Bb F
You’ve got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too
C Dm
Let’s rewrite history, I’ll do this dance with you
Bb F
You know I’m not that girl, you know I’ll never be
C Dm
Maybe just the way we’re different could set me free
Bb F
And there we were, screamin’ “Black Lives Matter” in the crowd by the Old Man
C Dm
River, and I saw you saw who I am
Bb F
God, I wish I was with my father, he could see us in all our
C Dm
splendor, all the things I couldn’t want for him
Bbmaj Am7
I screamed for them, oh-oh-oh
C Dm
I screamed for them, ah-ah
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Could we do this dance again?
Gm Dm
Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back?
Dm C
I guess this is really the end
Gm A7
I never felt jealous before this year, but I’m jealous now
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
People say we’re too much alike
C Gm
But maybe, finally, that’ll make it right, in the end of all these sleepless nights
Dm F
Other men I met felt right, would smile at you and stick a knife
C Gm
In your back, finally, I met you so I’m not wonderin’ why
[Chorus]
Bb F
You’ve got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too
C Dm
Let’s rewrite history, I’ll do this dance with you
Bb F
You know I’m not that girl, you know I’ll never be

Bbmaj Am7
I screamed for them, oh-oh-oh
C Dm
I screamed for them, ah-ah
[Outro]
Dm Bb
Old Man River keeps rollin’
F C
With or without him
Dm Bb
Old Man River keeps rollin’
F C
Without him, oh, my old man
Dm Bb F C
Old Man River keeps rollin’, oh
