Tab made by Lian from Tiger Really
[Verse 1]
C
when i get older
Fmaj9
would i still be standing
Dm7 G
in the winter wearing slippers
Gaug C G
and missing you
C
when life is different
Fmaj9
and i lose my reason
Dm7
to hold you
G C Gdim7
could i forget you even if i should
[Chorus]
Dm7 G C Am7
so when i’m drunk and lonely driving after dark
Dm7 G C Am7
singing the words i’d never say
Dm7 G C Am7
you wouldn’t think it but honey it breaks my heart
Dm7 G C Cadd11 Am G
to know that i will never change
[Verse 2]
C
stomach churning
Fmaj9
anxious mid-day burning
Dm9
i tried to douse it
G C G
but i can’t help it anymore
C
and what if i’m tired
Fmaj9
of the manic choir
Dm7
every weekend
G C Gdim7
when i’m weak and i’m on the floor
[Chorus]
Dm7 G C Am7
so when i’m drunk and lonely driving after dark
Dm7 G C Am7
singing the words i’d never say
Dm7 G C Am7
cuz you don’t know how bad it really breaks my heart
Dm7 G C
to know that i will never change.
C
i’ll never change, i’ll never change i’ll never change
[Outro]
Dm7 G
oh don’t you worry dear i’m out the door
C Am7
cut the lights and keep the showers short
Dm7 G
save money that i’ll never spend
C A7
on a future that was never meant
Dm7 G
you were right my dear the devil won
C Am7
in the end i’m still my fathers son
Dm7 G C Gdim7
yeah i am still my fathers son
Dm7 G
and in the mix of drywall and cement,
C Am7
carve my name in with a fountain pen,
Dm7 G C Am7
dot the i and cross the letter n
Dm7 G
so i can sell the house and close the blinds
C Am7
whatever’s left be left behind
Dm7 G C A7
you’ll never see me again
Dm7 G C Gdim7
and i’ll never miss you my friend,
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
and i’ll never be me again
