[Verse 1]
F#
It was raining when you came in
B
You said, "Sorry, I'm all wet"
F#
I said, "You don't have to be sorry
C#
I'll help you take care of that"
F#
You lay it all out on the table
B
I said there's no need to make a mess
F#
We try to study, don't get a lot done
C#
All busy worried about that test
[Chorus]
B
College hall's no place for a study date
C#
You couldn't look yourself straight through the mirror
B
Wasn't my fault to egg you on, I couldn't wait
C#
I shoulda known you couldn't hold your own liquor
B
It's a surefire, but your daddy wouldn't pay
C#
He finds out, I'm going down undercover
B
You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake
C#
But that's a lotta bad karma
F# B* B x4
Oh, I wouldn't make a bad father
[Verse 2]
F#
Now you're saying you're gonna leave me
B
It took a long time to get you thеre
F#
You're still a hot mess in your whitе dress
C#
I'm busy trying not to stare
F#
Oh, and freedom, oh, freedom
B
Like a heartbeat, could drive you mad
F#
The thunder outside drowning out my visions
C#
Of what we lost and what we had
[Chorus]
B
College hall's such a cold place to be awake
C#
You couldn't look yourself straight through the mirror
B
Wasn't my fault to egg you on, I couldn't wait
C#
I shoulda known you couldn't hold your own liquor
B
It's a surefire, but your daddy wouldn't pay
C#
He finds out, I'm going down undercover
B
You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake
C#
But that's a lotta bad karma
F# B* B x4
Oh, I wouldn't make a bad father (Yeah)
[Bridge]
C# D#m B
I'm afraid that I'm to blame if you give up, Cassie
C# D#m
If I ever make it out of my head
B
You can have me
C# D#m
Maybe I could stick around
B
Yeah, I could shape up, settle down (Shape up, settle down)
C# D#m
But tonight, I'm freaking out
Am*
'Cause you won't call
[Outro]
B
Cold shoulder, pulled over on the interstate
C#
Double take, saw a little face in the mirror
B
Knew we couldn't tell your mother when I saw your plates
C#
Heated seats, but you couldn't speak through the shivers
B
You zip your jacket, try to hide your red letter B
C#
Half-mast, scatter ashes in the water
B
You know the truth is you could cut this any other way
C#
It's just a lotta bad karma (Hey)
F# B* B until the end
F#
I wouldn't make a bad father
C#
But you won't call, no
B
But you won't
You won't
You won't call
