Am G C F
[Verso 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
[Refrão]
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
( Am G C F )
( Am G C F )
[Verso 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
[Refrão]
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
( Am G C F )
( Am G C F )
Final
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 end
