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