Chords

[Intro] C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F C G Am F [Verse 1]
   C       G            Am        F
My old man bought a big bass boat

       C             G         Am     F
When I think of that summer of hope I choke

      C          G              Am            F
Cause even if we didn't catch a little bit of something

     C         G           Am           F
We'd park that boat by the bluff at the days end.

        C            G            Am         F
I got a need to find trouble when things are alright,

  C        G           Am      F
I pine for pain in the morning light

    C            G            Am      F
And even with my baby sitting next to me

      C        G         Am       F
I'm a self sabotaging suicide machine
[Chorus]
           Am     G      C
And you're going, going, going

 C
Til the Lord calls you home in,

     G                                  F
Your work boots and your worn coveralls

           Am         G          C
And you'll show them, show them, show them

          C
With your high collateral loan on

     G                                         F
That home where your children play with dolls
[Instrumental] C G Am F C G Am F [Verse 2]
             C          G             Am      F
Cause I was raised by a woman who was hardly impressed

       C          G         Am        F
And I carry that shit real deep in my chest

              C         G       Am      F
Cause I ain't ever been one for cheap excuses,

    C              G             Am             F
And apologies have always been a little late or useless

           C            G             Am             F
But if you give me four minutes and a little 'bit of time,

     C             G       Am            F
I'll make them old days an old friend of mine

    C             G             Am       F
And I can talk to God and I can pray all day

        C          G                  Am          F
But you can't heal something that you never raised
[Chorus]
           Am     G      C
And you're going, going, going

 C
On Thanksgiving day

           G                           F
when you're sneaking off to drink some alcohol,

           Am         G          C
And you'll show them, show them, show them

             C
While you're kissing all the knees of

G                                  F
Every scrape and every bloody fall
[Instrumental] C G Am F C G Am F [Outro]
   C       G            Am        F
My old man bought a big bass boat

       C             G         Am     F
When I think of that summer of hope I choke

      C          G              Am            F
Cause even if we didn't catch a little bit of something

     C         G           Am           F
We'd park that boat by the bluff at the days end.
