Intro
A E
Mom, I know I let you down
D
And though you say the days are happy
E
Why is the power off, and I'm fucked up?
A E
And mom, I know he's not around
D
But don't you place the blame on me
E
As you pour yourself another drink
[Hook]
D E A E
I guess we are who we are
D E A E
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
D E
Maybe we took this too far
==> For Eminem's verses the chords are A E D E over and over <==
[Verse 1]
I went in headfirst
Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what verse
My mom probably got it the worst
The brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are
Did I take it too far?
Cleaning out my closet and all them other songs
But regardless I don't hate you cause ma!
You're still beautiful to me, cause you're my mom
Though far be it for you to be calling, my house was Vietnam
Desert Storm and both of us put together can form an atomic bomb
Equivalent to Chemical warfare
And forever we can drag this on and on
But, agree to disagree
That gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me
You're kicking me out? It's 15 degrees and it's Christmas Eve
(little prick just leave) ma, let me grab my fucking coat
Anything to have each other's goats, why we always at each others throats?
Especially when dad, he fucked us both
We're in the same fucking boat
You'd think that it'd make us close (nope)
Further away that drove us, but together headlights shine
A car full of belongings
Still got a ways to go, back
To grandma's
House it's straight up the road
And I was the man of the house, the oldest
So my shoulders carried the weight
Of the load
Then Nate got taken away by the state at 8 years old, and
That's when I realized you were sick and it wasn't fixable or changable
And to this day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but

[Verse 2]
Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though
Cause you ain't even get to witness your grand baby's growth
But I'm sorry mama for Cleaning Out My Closet, at the time I was angry
Rightfully maybe so, never meant that far to take it though, cause
Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not making jokes
That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio
And I think of Nathan being placed in a home
And all the medicine you fed us
And how I just wanted you to taste your own, but
Now the medications taken over and your mental states deteriorating slow
And I'm way too old to cry, that shit's painful though
But ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan yo
All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us both
Foster care, that cross you bare, few may be as heavy as yours
But I love you Debbie Mathers, oh what a tangled web we have, cause
One thing I never asked was where the fuck my deadbeat dad was
Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address
But I'd have flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus
Own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas
Someone ever moved them from me? That you could bet your ass's
If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them
And although one has met their grandma
Once you pulled up in our drive one nights
As we were leaving to get some hamburgers
Me, her and Nate, we introduced you, hugged you
And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come over me
A
As we pulled off to go our separate paths, and
E
I saw your headlights as I looked back
D
And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for being my Mom and my Dad
E
So Mom, please accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet
F
I guess I had to get this off my chest
G
I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead
A
The stewardess said to fasten my seatbelt, I guess we're crashing
E
So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you this message
D
That I'll always love you from afar, cause you're my mama...
[Hook]

[Verse 3]
A
I want a new life
F#m
One without a cause
D
So I'm coming home tonight
E7
Well no matter what the cost
A
And if the plane goes down
F#m
And if the crew can't wake me up
D
Just know that I was alright
E7
And I was not afraid to die
A
Even if there's songs to sing
F#m
My children will carry me
D
Just know that I'm alright
E7
I was not afraid to die
A
Because I put my faith in my new girl
F#m
So I never say goodbye cruel world
D
Just know that I'm alright
E7
I am not afraid to die
