E 
Em 
E 
Em 
My parents got some
big money problems
We're all young and we're
E 
countin' on 'em
Em 
I'm four years old
You think I'm bouncing on 'em?
E 
I just sit back and watch,
Em 
E 
thinkin' bout em
Em 
Mom's probably stronger than Pops is

Verse 2
Em 
E 
The talk is, that the old man has lost it
Em 
Last week he came back from work
I saw him on the porch
With a glass of milk in his shirt
He was flippin' out
Mom probably put it there
Judging from how angry
that she was
E 
It probably should be there
Em 
Now both folks know that
I'm standing there
But Mama protects me
E 
Throws me behind her back
Em 
Why did Papa do that?
What's that tellin' me?
Birds can't help but sing
E 
Em 
a melody
E 
Em 
(I ain't stupid)
Happy ever after is nothing
but a fantasy
E 
Police are part of our family
Em 
Son and mother look out from the porch
See father's head duck under the door

I need to be about it

Verse 5
Em 
So ring around the posies round
The living room table
I can't remember what we
E 
were arguing about
Em 
I stood up to the scariest
man in the country
E 
Em 
I held my head high as I left the house
C 
Little boy stood in the face of a dragon
Em 
Left with the heart of a lion, amazing
C 
It's funny
Em 
I left the house so it could cool down
But the dragon stayed hot
Who's the fool now?
Papa and the devil, sitting in the basement
A- R- S- O- N- IN- G
E 
Em 
Young son, headed back
to the household
Running down the block,
E 
eight firetrucks deep
Fell to my knees and I
Em 
Screamed in the front yard
Fireman running around like no
One's in charge
Sort of like when it rains, it pours
C 
Em 
See the flames burst out of the door
C 
I

C 
Got an apartment i'm 20 years old
Em 
Finally thinking I have
Everything under control
C 
It's been years since
I spoke to the man
Em 
When, he gave me his old cutlass
E 
To get out of the sand
Em 
So just like a hyena, I take the meat
And then I run my ass away
You need to let me be
E 
Em 
But over time a part of me
Knew one needed to speak
E 
That's right when the world decided
That it couldn't be
Em 
It's the biggest hurdle
thinking past tense
