[Verse]
---------------------
   A5
My father had dementia
   C#5
He lied in bed for months
     F#5
Once in a while he'd call me,
    D5
and ask me to fly down
  B5
I told him that I'd love to
    D5
But I had things to do
            A5     G#aug    F#5
And so he died without  his son
  B5                             D5
I heard about it drunk after a show
   A5
My mother battled cancer
    C#5
For over seven years
  F#5
I nursed her and I held her
     D5
When time was running out
    B5
The night before she left me
  D5
I drank scotch all night
             A5      G#aug           F#5
And thanked her for everything she'd done
B5                            D5
Raising me alone wasn't much fun

[Chorus]
---------------------
   A5
So dad I can forgive you,
    E5
but I'll never forget,
B5                            D5
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did
             A5
You'd be out with your friends all night
 E5
Alone and only nine
  B5
I watched the outer limits
D5
Scared out of my mind
  A5
I wonder if you felt the same
                        G#aug
The days before you died
  F#5
I wonder if you even knew
                          E5
Why I wouldn't come around
  B5
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song

[Bridge]
---------------------
A5                G#aug F#5
  Two thousand six         goodbye parents
          E5  D5
For once, I'm sincere
Two thousand six
            A5
My orphan year
