Chords

[Verse 1]
Am
Behind the barn smoking cigarettes

Em
Way back in the day

G                                 F
That's just what my mother taught me

Am
She was stoned to that bed

Em
Pills filled her head

G                   F
Broken and that was clear

G
What can I do to disappear
[Verse 2]
Am
Another day rolls

Em
She's sleeping in for the hundreth time

G                                   F
Eight years old but need to feed my sisters

Am
What can a boy like me do

Em
Dads locked up too

G                            F
Years later I realized these traumas

G
Pointing the finger at my momma
[Chorus]
Am
I had to learn how to love again

Em
Learn to just be me

G
Learn how to communicate

F
Learn to just be free

Am
I had to walk through the darkness

Em
And shine my own light

G
Navigate this world

F
Without you by my side
[Verse 3]
Am
I made myself into a person

Em
Who didn't have any needs

G
I was detached and aviodant

F
I didn't know how to grieve

Am
Built up those walls

Em
That nonone could tear down

G
Left alone but finally tore them

F
To the ground

Am
A product of disconnection and

Em
abandonment

G
Not your typical love story

F
But this is how it went
[Chorus]
Am
I had to learn how to love again

Em
Learn to just be me

G
Learn how to communicate

F
Learn to just be free

Am
I had to walk through the darkness

Em
And shine my own light

G
Navigate this world

F
Without you by my side
[Outro]
Am
Behind the barn smoking cigarettes

Em
Way back in the day

G                               F
Turns out she taught me so much more
