There's a hole inside you, fill it
[Verse 1]

Shower up and shave

Put flowers on the grave

And ask the Lord to save his soul

Although you know it's too late

G            G/B     Cadd9
Was it 27 times, or was it 29?

I heard the blade broke off inside the man

How did he get so low?

Seems like just a week ago

We were 10 and 12 years old

He was sweet and soft

Cadd9
Shied away from the inside fastballs

    Em7          D                Cadd9
And died doing life without parole

That dog bites my kid, I'll kill it

Don't walk where you can't see your feet

Don't ask questions just believe it

Jamie found a boyfriend

With smiling eyes and dark skin

And her daddy never spoke another word to her again

The old man at the Quickstop

Cadd9
Lying to the county cops

    Em7               D              Cadd9
And laughing like his soul was without sin

G                      G/B
How did he get so low?

Cadd9
Seems like just a week ago

        Em7              D       Cadd9
She was sitting on your shoulders watching fireworks in the sky

G                          G/B
He treats her like a queen

Cadd9
But you don't know 'cause you ain't seen

     Em7                 D          Cadd9
It's hard to go through life without your daddy by your side

She found love and it was simple as a weathervane

G        G/B               Cadd9
Her own family tried to kill it

G                 G/B   Cadd9
Don't wash the cast iron skillet
