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