   C
My father had dementia

   Em
He lied in bed for months

     Am
Once in a while he'd call me

    F         Fm
And ask me to fly down

  Dm
I told him that I'd love to

    F
But I had things to do

          C    G           Am
And so he died without his son

  F                            Fm
I heard about it drunk after a show

   C
My mother battled cancer

    Em
For over seven years

  Am
I nursed her and I held her

     F                Fm
When time was running out

    Dm
The night before she left me

        F
I drank scotch all night

                    C    G           Am
And thanked her for everything she'd done

F                            Fm
Raising me alone wasn't much fun

Chorus

   C
So dad I can forgive you,

    G
But I'll never forget, 

Dm                            F
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did

         C
You'd be out with your friends all night

 G
Alone and only nine

  Dm
I watched the outer limits

    F
And scared out of my mind

  C
I wonder if you felt the same

The days before you died

  Am
I wonder if you even knew

Why I wouldn't come around

  Dm
I bet if you had been there,

There wouldn't be this song Outro

C                Am
  2006 goodbye parents

                F
For once I'm sincere

                        C
2006 that was my orphan year
