Verse 1
bought Chris (E flat major)
a guitar (C major) for (A minor) his birthday
It kinda pissed (B major) me (B minor) off be
cause (B major) he's (F sharp major) seventeen
He does (E flat major) n't even have (C major) a computer yet
An (A minor) d his dad (B major) works for Ebay
(Bdim) I (F sharp major) said that, (E flat major) and she was like,
(C major) well, whose birthday (A minor) is it?
Yours or his?
(B minor) I said, (A minor) whose wal (F sharp major) let is (E flat major) it?
Yours or mine?
(C major) But she gave me (A minor) that look, so I resigned
Never (E major) argue with (F sharp major) a smiling teen
(B flat minor) It's like (A minor) seeing an eclipse or something
You just stare (D minor) and take pictures
(Bdim) Thank (B minor) (G sharp minor) your lucky stars
(A minor) you were there to bear witness
(F sharp major) At first it was nice (E flat major) to (A minor) see
him (C major) practice (A minor) it
Actually using the gimbal
He'd (F sharp major) bring it to the table
(E flat major) Choke (A minor) down the bare minimum
Then sit and play a bit
But I (F sharp major) got kinda tired of (C major) hearing him play
Those same (A minor) three funk and blues riffs
And when he got himself an amp
There (E flat major) was (A minor) nowhere in the house
to get away from it
When I came back upstairs one night
After forcing him to turn it off
and go to bed
Sarah leaned (E minor) up on (F sharp major) one
elbow and (B flatdim) asked
(A minor) Why I didn't get the keyboard down instead
I laughed (D minor) too (B minor) quick and told (G sharpdim) her I
(G sharp minor) wasn't about to encourage
this assault on her senses
(G sharpdim) But the (G major) truth is I couldn't
(B minor) play a (G sharpdim) song
(G sharp minor) if my penchant depended on it
(A minor) In the attic, (B flat major) in the (B flat minor) corner, (F major)
(A minor) under sheets (C major)
(B flat major) I found (A minor) my keyboard
Put (C major) my fingers (A minor) on the (E major) right keys
but (D minor) couldn't find (G major) (E flat major) a single chord (D minor)
(A minor) And if my hand (C major) s can forget
(E flat major) all (F major) the song (A minor) s that (C major) they wrote
(A minor) And the parts that they played
(C major) and the albums (A minor) they made
(E major) Who's (E minor) to say that (A minor) they
won't (E flat major) just forget
(D minor) everything (C major) one (A minor) day?
(C major) Can't cook, (E flat major) (F major) can't (A minor) code,
can't feel (E major) my (A minor) job
My skills, demands, (E major) my hand (G major) s,
(A minor) all (E flat major) gone, (D minor) paycheck (C major) , (A minor) all gone
It (C major) was (G sharp minor) quarter to (G sharpdim) elev (Bdim) en,
we were (G major) already (G sharpdim) in bed
on a (G major) Monday (F sharp major) night
(G sharp minor) I (E flat major) must've (G sharp major) heard him play cashmere (G sharpdim)
(Bdim) fifty (G major) times
but nev (G sharp minor) er once (G sharpdim) got (G sharp minor) it right
(G sharp major) Maybe I came in (G sharp minor) to his (Bdim) room
cause (G major) I was looking for (A minor) a (G sharpdim) fight
Or (G sharp minor) cause I couldn't
bear to sit (G sharpdim) by
while (G sharp major) he (G sharpdim) wasted (Bdim) away
(G major) the (C major) educa (A minor) tion paid (G sharp minor)
for with my own life
He (G sharp major) stopped (G sharpdim) call (Bdim) ing me (G major) dad,
started call (G sharpdim) ing me Gavin
when (G major) I raised my voice
(G sharp minor) I asked him (Bdim) to please
put (G major) the guitar down
(G sharpdim) for one damn minute
(Bdim) I don't (G sharpdim) know if the nood
(Bdim) ling was (G major) a conscious (G sharpdim) thing
or if his fingers just did (Bdim) it
But he (G sharpdim) wouldn't get the message
(Bdim) till I yanked (G major) it away from (G sharpdim) him
and put my foot in it
(Bdim) Finally, (F sharp major) for (B flatdim) once ever, (F sharp major)
Chris looked scared,
he bolted (E flat minor) out the (E flat major) door and (F sharp major) downstairs
Sarah came (A sharpdim) up to (F sharp major) see
what all the fuss was about
When she (B flat minor) saw the (Bdim) guitar
she started freaking (G major) (G sharpdim) out
Telling me how I'm taking my own (Bdim) life
out on my kids
She was calm when she said,
(G sharpdim) you (Ddim) won't be (Bdim) happy until nobody is
(G major) In (A minor) the attic, (G major) in (C major) the (B flat major) corner,
(F major) un (B flat major) der sheet (C major) s,
(A minor) found my keyboard
Put (C major) my fingers on the (E major) right keys
but (G major) couldn't find (E major) a (E flat major) single chord (A minor)
(C major) And (A minor) if my hand (C major) s can forget
(B flat major) all (F major) the song (B flat major) s that they wrote
And (A minor) the parts that they played
(C major) and the al (E flat major) bums (B flat major) they made
Who's to say that they won't
just forget (D minor) everything?
(A minor) One day, (C major) can't cook,
can't code, can't feel
My (A minor) job, (C major) my skills, demand, my hands
All gone, (D minor) paycheck, all gone
