Intro 1
(D major) (D minor) (D major) (D minor)
(D major) (D minor) (D major)
(D minor) (D major)
It's (D minor) a bittersweet
Verse 1
legacy (D major) you (Dsus4) left (D major) me to find
Every (D minor) time that I fall,
I feel you push from behind
18 years (Dsus4) you've (D major) been gone,
18 (Dsus4) years you're still (D major) around
How can you move me (D minor) so much
from (D major) a hole in the ground? (D minor) (D major) (F major) (D minor) (D major)
In (D minor) that small frame (Dsus4) of (D minor) house on a Bible belt
I never knew who you were
and I never knew how (D major) you felt
Now I'm painting this picture
and I (Dsus4) don't know (D major) the truth
Did you do what you wanted,
or what you (D minor) had to do? (D major)
Tell me! (D minor) (D major)
Hello, (E minor) your blood runs through (F major) my veins
I won't bear (D major) your cross,
cause I share your name
It's not the (E minor) way that we die,
it's the (F major) way that we live
And I can't tell (G major) anymore
who I need (Asus4) to forgive
They ain't genius (F major) (D minor) (D major)
They ain't geni (D minor) us (D major)
You (D minor) sat at the table
with your seagram (D major) stare
(D minor) Was it love or obligation
that kept you there?
I tried all (Dsus4) your prescriptions
for easing my (D major) pain
Whiskey, drugs, (D minor) women,
they all feel, (Dsus4) feel (D major) the (D minor) same
(D major) And though (E minor) your blood
runs through (F major) my veins
I'm gonna bear (D major) your cross
cause I share (Dsus4) your (D major) name
(D minor) It's not the (E minor) way that we die,
it's the (F major) way that we live
I can't tell (G major) anymore who I
need (Asus4) to forget
Reaching, yeah (F major) (D minor) (D major)
Reaching, (D minor) yeah (Dsus4) (D major) (E minor)
(F major) (D minor) (F major) (D major) (E major)
(F major) (G major) (Asus4)
(Dsus4) (D minor) (D major)
(Csus2) (D minor) (D major)
(D minor)
I still need you (Dsus4) old man
but (D major) I don't need you to (D minor) blame
As I stare at myself
in your picture frame
It's a good thing you ain't
here (Dsus4) to bail
(D major) I've learned to (D minor) count on myself
in a moment of doubt (D major) (D minor) (D major)
And all (E minor) your blood runs
through (F major) my veins
I won't bear (D major) your cross,
but I'll say your name
It's (D minor) not the (E minor) way that (E major) we die,
it's the (F major) way that we live
I can't tell (G major) anymore,
I need (Asus4) to forget
Eighteen years (D minor) (D major)
Eighteen (D minor) years (D major)
Eighteen (D minor) years (D major)
Eighteen, (D minor) eighteen (D major)
(D minor) (Dsus4) (D minor)
(Dsus4)
Yeah, (Dsus4) yeah
