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