Verse 1
(A minor) (C major) (A minor) (C major) My
(D major) mother was (A minor) a saint,
father was a sinner
Just tryna do it right in this
(C major) world of go (A minor) -figure
Tryn (D major) a make to (A minor) night a little
something of a winner
Adrenaline and stage fright
One hell of a mixer,
look her dead in the eye
Wonder if they notice these days
Mom's boy ain't nearly so precocious
But (D major) stage lights, (A minor) tell me take it out,
blanket out
Make em all look like they
done seen a ghost
Boo, who that though?
Really it's an actor
Bal (C major) ance on the precipice, (A minor) tryna lean back
Oh, (F sharp minor) you ain't cool man,
you (A minor) look fuckin' shrewd
It feels like (C major) them modifying
times you had (A minor) in school
Shit, hey miss,
can I steal some perspective?
(C major) Cause from up here it's all
(A minor) lookin' kinda hectic
Wanna (F sharp minor) know how it looks from out
(A minor) side the snow (C major) globe
So I can go home, (A minor) like this motherfucker
up in wreck shit (C major) (D major) (A minor)
(D major)
(A minor) My mother was a saint,
dad was a flawed man who (C major) taught me to be (A minor) a winner
And so my inner circle full of
(D major) those I shared (A minor) dinner with
The same ones who I know,
got my back all the way through the winter
What up?
But some of even the closest
with whom I share (C major) sofas
Still (A minor) don't know me from a bar of soap
Keep (D major) em at arm's (A minor) length, the only way to
cope
When the going gets tough
and the bluff starts
I get so caught up in the undertow
Looking (C major) for that sub (A minor) text
with a microscope
Particularly when the issue's
so microscopic
And I'd like to drop it, but
somehow I can't let go
So, where'd that leave her?
Sitting home watching reruns?
(C major) No, cause
I'ma (A minor) take fate just however she comes
(F sharp minor) Make some (A minor) of y 'all put up your hands,
no preacher
And turn these sleepless nights into dreams,
you believe that? (C major) (A minor) (B flat#dim)
(A minor)
(C major)
(A minor) You (A minor)
