Dm
You'll raise the daughter and she'll raise the son
A#
You'll live like two people that wish they were one
C C Dm
She may not be perfect but oh my friend neither are you
Dm
You feel like you're waiting for somebody
A#
to remind you of all the things that you're supposed to do
C C Dm
Careful what you reach for, one more step and you're falling through
Dm
Your family's a joke and your job is your life
A#
The time spent without them is time spent most every night
C C
Get your house in order 'cause it's gonna be a bump ride.

You can't stop
A# Dm
You can't stop the killer
A#
You can't stop
A# Dm C
You can't stop the killer
Dm
I work my hands right down to the bone
A#
still you don't give me what I want
C C Dm
You are so ungrateful, we're more like a house than a home
Dm A#
Please dear understand, I'm sorry again for all that I said
C C Dm
How could you leave? I swear that I'll be a better man
Dm
Well, go ahead and run, run,
A#
run from the man with the gun in his hand
C C
Darling I would shoot you before I would ever
A#
let you leave
C
Oh, dear God
A#
In a certain place I've kept my outs,
one for us both, two for my doubts,
Dm
I'm shaking, I'm hollow because
A#
I know how to get this done
Dm
so I will be the only to follow
to follow through with this
A#

Dm
You kneel beside her at the foot of the grave
A#
Your daughter is crying
and you say she's in a better place
C
She was never perfect,
C Dm
oh, my friend, neither were you
that’s it
