Intro: Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G
There's a couple of people that I owe a beer or two
Cadd9 G
And three or four that I owe more than a few
Cadd9 G
For all the times I could not find the answers
A7sus4 C
Stumbling though the dark without a clue
G
This one's for you
Cadd9 G
Mom and dad always did their best
Cadd9 G
For a crazy fool who could not help himself
A7sus4 C
I thank god that they were there to see me through
G
This one's for you
Cadd9 G
I told you that I'd write you a song
Cadd9
Pour out my heart in the melody
G
To keep you singing along
Cadd9
This might not be the right time
G Em7 A7sus4
These might not be the right lines to prove
C
Or say what I'm trying to
G
But this one's for you
Cadd9 G
I've been knocked down time and time again
Cadd9 G
Got picked back up by love and a couple of friends
A7sus4 C
Who reminded me of all that I stood to lose
G
This one's for you
Cadd9 G
Yeah I told you that I'd write you a song
Cadd9
Pour out my heart in the melody
G
To keep you singing along
Cadd9
This might not be the right time
G Em7 A7sus4
These might not be the right lines to prove
C
Or say what I'm trying to
G
But this one's for you
Cadd9 G
Made more than my fair share of the same mistakes
Cadd9 G
Bridges burned and lessons learned a few things I can't change
A7sus4 C
Some apologies are way past overdue
G
This one's for you
Cadd9 G
Well I told you that I'd write you a song
Cadd9
Pour out my heart in the melody
G
To keep you singing along
Cadd9
This might not be the right time
G Em7 A7sus4
These might not be the right lines to prove
C
Or say what I'm trying to
G
But this one's for you
Cadd9 G
There's a couple people that I owe a beer or two
Cadd9 G
