Verse 1
Three (G major) days I've
carried all my (B minor) stuff down from (E minor) the attic
and cut it up into two (D major) piles.
The things that (C major) hurt
I threw into the (A minor) bathtub and burned.
The (G major) things that made me smile,
I (B minor) cleaned them up,
(D major) set them up in (E minor) rows around my bed
so I could (D major) see them all together,
(C major) and then address each one (A minor) in turn.
The (G major) first thing I held
was (B minor) my mom's dissertation.
She (E minor) had it bound into a book for me
when I (D major) was only fourteen.
(C major) She fought eight years
as a single mom
(A minor) with four kids for that PhD.
(G major) I never read a page of it,
but I remember her crying
(D major) alone at her desk
(E minor) when she thought me
and my sister (G major) s were asleep.
(D major) She (C major) tried so hard
to keep us far away from any weak (D major) ness
Then (G major) I picked up Chris's diploma
from Brown University
And (E minor) I remember how he asked me
not to attend the ceremony
(D major) But I (C major) hid in the back
when he walked up to get it
(F major) My heart screamed (A minor) his name
when they said (G major) it
I found the plaque Sarah made
when I first got (B minor) pro moted
She'd (E minor) somehow found
out about it before I did
(D major) And had (C major) it mounted on the office door
before (D major) I even got in
A (G major) hologram of our first family vacation
With the rain and the mos
(E minor) quitoes and the flu
And (B minor) Sarah and I juggling (G major) two screaming (C major) kids,
I don't know how we smiled for the (F major) whole thing,
but we did.
(G major) I smelled Zoey's baby clothes,
my first program coat.
(E minor) Leotards I wore on my head
when I (G major) was just four years old.
The (C major) first cartoon I drew,
(A minor) Chris's first pair of shoes.
(G major) The last thing I held
was a picture with no date.
I had (E minor) so much hair though
that I must have been (B minor) 27 or (D major) 28.
I must have (C major) been warming up for a show,
or (A minor) may be just getting on stage.
(G major) I'm sitting on a leather couch,
I'm in the back room of (D major) some club.
I (E minor) have my old rap hat on
and there's this (B minor) beautiful girl
leaning down above (C major) me
And I'm showing her my silk shirt
and I'm smiling (A minor) and it's love
(G major) The hopeful look on that face
makes me wince
Haven't (E minor) seen that look,
haven't seen that face (G major) since I (C major)
take it into the bathroom,
light (A minor) it up and throw it in
I (G major) empty out the medicine cabinet
into my shaking (D major) hands
And (E minor) my fingers look so new for (G major) a second
I wonder who I am
I (C major) quickly stole them away,
(A minor) back into my pants
My (G major) boss says he'll live to be 140, (D major)
ex -boss, (E minor) he's all into enhancers
and at (G major) tachments and stuff
(D major) And when I ask (C major) him why
he wanted to be around that (A flat major) long,
he got all up in a huff
Some (G major) people feel like the world (B minor) wants them around,
that's (E minor) fine
I decided 10 years (D major) ago
that I don't want all that time
(C major) For me, 76 is (A flat major) enough
For (G major) me, 76 was too much
