Regrets
[Verse 1]
Em
 I moved the glass to my lips, took a sip and sighed

D
 Why does it feel like our lives on a Slip 'N Slide?

C
 Kids, they add stress, work ain't workin' the best

                                        D
But that ain't the explanation why this love is a mess

       Em
I guess  priorities are prioritised over time

D
 And the only moments we spend are sleepin' side by side

C
 Mornin' breaks, same old nags and complaints

                                   D
I'm just tryna drink my coffee, if we engage, then we'll be late

Em
 I push it down to avoid a situation

D
 But all it does is come out in the public places

C
 Can't be as open when they recognise our faces

                                   D
If they think it's heated, I guess that's an understatement

       Em
But it used to be alive, be electric, burnin' bright

           D
There's a spark left in the embers, find some gasoline tonight

         C
Shut the world down, put the past behind

                  C
See the mountain, got so far to climb

              D
Is all that's left for you and I
[Chorus]
   Em
Regrets

                              D
I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

                                 C
But I can't help thinkin' what's next

                            C
When tomorrow is all we got left

   D          Em
Confessing regrets

                                      D
Why's there distance when we're right here?

                           C
Is the anger just proof we care?

                     C
A love in was is not fair

   D          Em
Confessing regrets
[Verse 2]
           Em
You're too young to understand that daddy's comin' home

             D
Every time I leave the house, you think I'm forever gone

                    C
Guess it's from the hundred calls, goodnights on the telephone

               C                           D
See this tour, I've gotta get it done, but why though?

                Em
Always said I'd pause work as soon as you came

                           D
Without structure, I just slipped into depression again

                        C
This is just one of the things that I could never explain

               C                             D
Each and every day rollin' the dice, forever caught in the game

        Em
Still uprootin' you both until the sickness started

       D
Missed appointments, ripped apart

                     C
Aimed to be the best dad here, but missed the mark

                           C                        D
Breakin' both you and your sister's heart, and your mother's too

          Em
I see the wood for the trees 'cause there's no other truth

         D
I gotta stop puttin' work so far in front of you

                C
'Cause there is so much more love that a man can lose

      C                                D
Tryna get back what I've lost, sittin' here and all I've got is
[Chorus]
   Em
Regrets

                              D
I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

                                 C
But I can't help thinkin' what's next

                            C
When tomorrow is all we got left

   D          Em
Confessing regrets

                                      D

                           C
Is the anger just proof we care?

Confessing regrets
[Verse 3]
        Em
Three generations of women in my life, they keep me stood

               D
They know that I don't keep in touch with your mum as much as I should

            C
I know that you got your battles, the same as me

           C                          D
DNA in us, we feel so much shame in us, what we offer ain't enough

Em
These thoughts get dangerous, one way that the pain can stop

D
Hope and pray that both my little girls, they ain't the same as us

C
Missed out on so much, I really need to make it up

C                            D
Take you on a plane and just, you know

                Em
I wish there was more one-on-one, and you didn't share your son

       D
I wish you didn't have to move away, but that sorta thing comes

          C
When your identity shifts from bein' mum and Imogen

              C                           D
To havin' my stage name in front when you talk to anyone

         Em
My mind's all in a rut, I'm unsure if it will stop

       D
If you reach out and think that I'm ignorin' you, I'm not

    C
I'm just lost in my head, wish I could pause the world and then

     C                                 D
I'll talk it out with you and say, "Mum, I'm here again with"
[Chorus]
   Em
Regrets

                              D
I'm not sayin' it's all in my head

                                 C
But I can't help thinkin' what's next

                            C
When tomorrow is all we got left

   D          Em
Confessing regrets

                                      D
