The Front Bottoms – Father (Guitar)

            F                           F
I have this dream that I am hitting my dad with a baseball bat

          Bb                           Bb
And he is screaming and crying for help

          C                      C
And maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him

        Bb                     Bb
Then it ever did protecting myself

      F                                       F
And I believe that yeah, dad, maybe no one is perfect

      Bb                                 Bb
But I believe that you were pushing your luck

        C
It just sucks it played out like this

  C                                            Bb                 Bb
A terrible movie and you can tell none of the actors even give a fuck

             Dm                C                          Bb
But you look good tonight girlfriend, can I sleep in your bed?

           Dm               C             F                Bb    C
And when I crawl out in the morning, can I stay inside your head?

                Bb     C   Dm
'Cause you were high school

    F                         Bb
And I was just more like real life

             Bb    C         Dm
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend

    F                         Bb
But I was just more like his wife

           Bb   C                   Dm
I'll do the push-ups, I'll wear the makeup

            F                Bb
I'll do whatever he wants all night

                Bb      C       Dm
'Cause you were okay, okay as a girlfriend

    F                       Bb

               F                               F
A long, long time ago my great, great, great, great grandfather

       Bb                              Bb
took something that did not belong to him

            C                     C
And that is why today I have an eagle in my veins

  Bb                  Bb
I am part Native American

         F                        F
And I am leaving as soon as I come

                     Bb                         Bb
As soon as I come you will probably forget my name

          C                            C
I hope I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car (on the ride home)

 Bb                         Bb
Or I could just stay here, because

        Dm                C                          Bb
You look good tonight girlfriend, can I sleep in your bed?

           Dm               C             F                Bb    C
And when I crawl out in the morning, can I stay inside your head?
