verse

C
my father had dementia
Em
he lied in bed for months
Am
once in a while he’d call me
F Fm
and ask me to fly down
Dm
i told him that i’d love to
F
but i had things to do
C G Am
and so he died without his son
F Fm
i heard about it drunk after a show
C
my mother battled cancer
Em
for over seven years
Am
i nursed her and i held her
F Fm
when time was running out
Dm
the night before she left me
F
i drank scotch all night
C G Am
and thanked her for everything she’d done
F Fm
raising me alone wasn’t much fun

chorus

C
so dad i can forgive you ,
G
but i’ll never forget ,
Dm F
months i wouldn’t see you and when i did
C
you’d be out with your friends all night
G
alone and only nine
Dm
i watched the outer limits
F
and scared out of my mind

C
i wonder if you felt the same

the days before you died
Am
i wonder if you even knew

why i wouldn’t come around
Dm
i bet if you had been there ,

there wouldn’t be this song

lyrics :

my father had dementia
he lied in bed for months
once in a while he’d call me
and ask me to fly down
i told him that i’d love to
but i had things to do
and so he died without his son
i heard about it drunk after a show

my mother battled cancer
for over seven years
i nursed her and i held her
when time was running out
the night before she left me
i drank scotch all night
and thanked her for everything she’d done
raising me alone wasn’t much fun

so dad i can forgive you ,
but i’ll never forget ,
months i wouldn’t see you and when i did
you’d be out with your friends all night
alone and only nine
i watched the outer limits
and scared out of my mind
i wonder if you felt the same
the days before you died
i wonder if you even knew
why i wouldn’t come around
i bet if you had been there ,
there wouldn’t be this song

2006 goodbye parents
for once i’m sincere
2006 that was my orphan year
