[Verse 1]
Em Esus2
you hadn't seen your father in such a long time.
Em Esus2
he died in the arms of his lover. how dare he ?
C
your mother never left the house.
Am
she never married anyone else
C#m B
you took it upon yourself to console her
[Verse 2]
Em Esus2
you reminded her so much of your father so you were banished and you
Em Esus2
wonder why you're so hypersensitive and why you can't trust anyone but us
C
but then how can i begin to forgive her
Am
so many years under bridges with dirty water
C#m B
she was foolish and selfish and cowardly if you ask me
[Verse 3]
Em Esus2
i don't know where to begin in all of my 50 odd years
Em Esus2
i have been silently suffering and adapting perpetuating and enduring
C
who are you younger generation to tell me
Am
that i have unresolved problems
C#m B
not many examples of fruits of this type of excruciating labor.
[Verse 4]
Em Esus2
how can you just throw words around like grieve and heal and mourn
Em Esus2
i feel fine we may not have been born as awake as you were.
C
it was much harder in those days
Am
we had paper routes uphill both ways
C#m B
we went from school to a job to a wife to instant parenthood
[Verse 5]
Em Esus2
i walked into his office. i felt so self-conscious on the couch.
Em Esus2
he was sitting down across from me. he was writing down his hypothesis. i don't know.
C
i've got a loving supportive wife,
Am
who doesn't know how involved she should get.
C#m B
you say his interjecting was him just calling me on my shit ?
[Verse 6]
Em Esus2
just the other day my sweet daughter. i was driving past 203.
Em Esus2
i walked up the stairs in my mind's eye. i remember how they would creak loudly
C
she was only responsive with a drink.
Am
he was only responsive by photo.
C#m B
i was only trying to be the best big brother i could
[Verse 7]
Em Esus2
i've walked sometimes confused. sometimes ready to crack open wide.
Em Esus2
sometimes indignant sometimes raw. can you imagine
C
i pay him 75 dollars an hour
Am
sometimes it feels like highway robbery
C#m B
and sometimes it's peanuts i wish it could last a couple more hours
[Verse 8]
Em Esus2
so here we both are battling similar demons not coincidentally.
Em
you seen getting beyond knowing it solely intellectually
Esus2
you're not relinquishing your majesty
C
you are wise you are warm
Am
you are courageous you are big
C#m B
and i love you more now than i ever have in my whole life
[Outro]
