I Accept That
View chords used in this chart
C
Remember when I called you cause Abby was wasted
C
And didn't know how to get home
F
We drove around til she sobered up
G
And then I went home alone
C
It's kind of funny cause she married Ben
C
And I still see them every now and again
F
And I'm glad they're doing well
G
Sometimes I think I'm doing well too
C G F
Doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo
C
Remember when we realized how much we cared
C
But we still didn't talk for a couple of years
F
So you kept writing letters and I kept writing songs
G
But you can neither give up or admit it's wrong
C
It's kind of funny because most nights
C
I've got so much on my mind but I feel alright
F
or at least okay, but I still don't forget it
G C
The longest night and the guilt that came with it
C F
And I gotta believe something
C
I spent half my life trying to figure it out
F G
And the other half trying to believe in nothing
Am F G
And when I wrote this down, I cried
G Am
And when we used to talk, I lied
C G
And when I say that I don't care
G
I think I'm starting to mean it
Am F G
I'm picking up those pieces well
G
This night has gone to hell
Am F
And we're all, "Let's talk about the past,
G C G
back when we were made to last"
C, G, Em, C,
F
And all I've got in this world
F
Is like thirty five dollars and small amount of skill
F G A
So I don't mind
F G C
I'm staying home
F G Dm F C C
Avoiding the things that make me hate the most
F G A
You're on my mind
F C C
Some night it's better
F G Am
I can't feel worse than that it's all regret
F
I hope it doesn't last forever
