[Intro] A B C Em F G A B C Em F G [Verse 1]
                        A        B
I bought flowers from a drifter.

C                    Em  F  G
Cut my hand on a thorn,

                A
Straight across the fate line.

       B    C
I'm no palm reader,

Em                     F               G       A   B
But I doubt that's the sign that I was looking for.

      C        Em         F
Rainy night in California.

           G             A
Told me he fought in the war.

           B            C      Em
And I'm so desperate to do the right thing.

        F              G              F
I'm not sure what that even is anymore.
[Pre-Chorus]
                       Em                G
He found a bus stop to weather the storm.
[Chorus]
C
I'm gonna stand up straight.

          Em                                     F
I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid.

                    A
Mom, I want you to know

             G
I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home.
[Instrumental] A B C Em F G A B C Em F G [Verse 2]
                     A        B
Faded light from the projector

C                        Em    F  G
Spitting summer out on a screen.

            A                 B        C         
The pool we swam in caved in years ago.

Em                   F             G          A
We filled it up with furniture and concrete.

B          C           Em
I saw right from wrong then.

F              G          A          
The lines were simple and clean.

            B            C               Em
Now all the people I was taught would be heroes

                F        G            F
Are acting like cowards, killers, and thieves.
[Pre-Chorus]
                            Em                        G
I'm losing track of who the good guys are supposed to be.
[Chorus]
C
I'm gonna stand up straight.

          Em                                     F
I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid.

                    A
Dad, I want you to know

             G
I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home.
[Instrumental] F G Em A C [Bridge]
F                        G    
Coming undone at the seams.

Em                   A            
Stress fractures and muted dreams.

C   F
Oh, please.

              G
Undone at the seams.

Em                   A
Stress fractures and muted dreams.

C   F
Oh, please.

              G
Undone at the seams.

Em                   A
Stress fractures and muted dreams.

C
Oh...
