Verse 1
(G major)
I thought I'd surprise Kenna this afternoon,
(C major) Saturdays
I usually have to work all day.
But (G major) I got someone to cover
the second half of my shift.
Yesterday I bought us two
(C major) tickets to the game.
(G major) I drove home,
tried to park the car in the lot,
but a beat -up SUV was parked
in our rented (C major) space.
She (G major) was definitely home,
but the (A minor) front door was (Adim) locked.
A chair squeaked
when I put the (F sharpdim) key in the slot
(G major) When I came into the kitchen
they were rushin' to talk
Awkward (C major) like they hadn't
(G major) had a chance
(C major) to pick out a topic
She (G major) introduced me
but I knew exactly who he was
It was Ben who was always
playin' (C major) down at the club
For the (G major) last week his name
kept poppin' up here and there
He (C major) played every Thursday night
when Kenna worked the bar
When I (G major) joked that they were datin'
she would play with her hair
(Adim) I found a CD tucked under
the (F major) seat in the car
I (G major) took his hand,
imagined I could smell the sex on it
By the (C major) time I got my jacket
on the rack he was gone
I (G major) pulled out the tickets
and put them on the (C major) table
Changed my shirt, grabbed my hat,
and put my jacket back on
She (G major) didn't say much
as we drove (B flat major) down to (C major) the field
I kept both hands up high
on the steering wheel
I (G major) said, you should be happy,
but I wasn't sure how (C minor) I meant it
And (Adim) she answered,
don't tell me how the fuck I should (G major) feel
It (D major) started raining (C sharp major) harder,
but we didn't try to (D major) leave
The (D minor) stands were stark (C sharp major) empty,
but there wasn't room (D minor) to breathe
I (C major) dumped a silver (C minor) coffin
with my (E flat minor) shoulder on my (D major) knees
She (D minor) didn't touch (F major) my back
like she would usually
Used (D major) to hate (C sharp major) football,
she said, you couldn't (D minor) stand it
But she wasn't saying it (C sharp major) like good
to see her interests are ex (D major) panding
She was saying it like I (E flat minor) was a boy,
pre (E minor) tending to do (D major) mad things
A (D minor) puddle formed (F major) around me
while she took the reins, (F sharp minor) standing
We (D major) were far past (C sharp major) the end of it,
and (D major) both of us could tell
I wanted to stand and (C sharp major) leave her,
but I wasn't feeling well
I was (D major) disgusted with (E flat minor) my self,
but I pretended not to (D major) be
I (D minor) asked her if we could (F major) still
go out later and see a movie
You (D major) used to say (C sharp major) the movies
were way too over (D major) priced
I brought you here
(C sharp major) cause I was trying to do something (D major) nice
I know, (E flat minor) I know, you should stop (D major) crying
I (D minor) knew it was the (F major) rain,
but I pre (F minor) tended she was (F major) crying
She (B flat major) left, I stayed wet and old
Try (D minor) in' to rewind (B flat major) about
four years or so
What (D minor) had I done
(B flat major) to turn a warm girl so cold?
(D minor) All I could think was (B flat major) that
I'd done just as I was told
She (D minor) wanted more stabil (B flat major) ity,
she wanted more attention
And (D minor) I just wanted (B flat major) to have
less tension between us
I (D minor) told her I could (B flat major) change my whole life
If she'd be happy
when she (D minor) said I'd never (B flat major) change
I called her with the fetus and then I did it
I put a knife in the thing I loved most
It was music that I burned at the (C major) stake
As a (B flat major) toast to the girl and the world
That I want to be a part
of maybe going back to school
is when I started to lose
I've given up everything
because everyone told me
it was (A major) the right thing to do
(C major) And (D minor) it's been hard (B flat major) on me too,
very hard
Being 32 (D major) years old (B flat major) back in school
makes you feel like you've
got a (D minor) giant scar
(B flat major) run ning through the center of your face
Any (D minor) attempts to in (B flat major) clude you
make you feel out of place
Sure (D minor) the professors (B flat major) love me,
we always share a laugh
But it's (D minor) weird when you're
(B flat major) the only two laughing in class
I (D minor) just didn't think
the (B flat major) age gap
would run so deep
And I (D minor) thought she'd be ecstat (B flat major) ic
that I'd turn a new leaf
But when she mentions my school,
she does it to bare teeth
And when I ask her if she's happy,
she says it's happy for me
But I did this for her,
so why are we falling apart?
What more could I sacrifice to Canada
than my art?
Even if the gift I try to give her is refused
I'm just a proof to this (C major) world
that I can always follow through
