Key: B major
Verse 1
G
I thought I'd surprise Kenna this afternoon,
C
Saturdays
I usually have to work all day.
the second half of my shift.
Yesterday I bought us two
tried to park the car in the lot,
but a beat -up SUV was parked
Am
Adim
but the front door was locked.
A chair squeaked
they were rushin' to talk
but I knew exactly who he was
It was Ben who was always
kept poppin' up here and there
when Kenna worked the bar
she would play with her hair
imagined I could smell the sex on it
on the rack he was gone
Changed my shirt, grabbed my hat,
and put my jacket back on
Bb
C
as we drove down to the field
I kept both hands up high
on the steering wheel
D
C#
It started raining harder,
Dm
C#
The stands were stark empty,
C
Cm
I dumped a silver coffin
Ebm
D
with my shoulder on my knees
Dm
F
She didn't touch my back
like she would usually
D
C#
Used to hate football,
Em
D
pretending to do mad things
Dm
F
A puddle formed around me
D
C#
We were far past the end of it,
but I wasn't feeling well
D
Ebm
I was disgusted with my self,
Dm
F
I asked her if we could still
go out later and see a movie
D
C#
You used to say the movies
I brought you here
C#
D
cause I was trying to do something nice
Ebm
D
I know, I know, you should stop crying
Dm
F
I knew it was the rain,
Fm
F
but I pretended she was crying
Dm
Bb
Tryin' to rewind about
four years or so
Dm
Bb
All I could think was that
I'd done just as I was told
Dm
Bb
She wanted more stability,
she wanted more attention
Dm
Bb
And I just wanted to have
less tension between us
Dm
Bb
I told her I could change my whole life
If she'd be happy
Dm
Bb
when she said I'd never change
I called her with the fetus and then I did it
I put a knife in the thing I loved most
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
C
Dm
Bb
And it's been hard on me too,
very hard
D
Bb
Being 32 years old back in school
makes you feel like you've
Dm
Bb
Any attempts to include you
make you feel out of place
Dm
Bb
Sure the professors love me,
we always share a laugh
would run so deep
Dm
Bb
And I thought she'd be ecstatic
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
that I can always follow through
How did you like the song?
