INTRO > Am - C - G - F 2x Regular Struming
Am Strum only once
Sit down dear we gotta talk
your acting like a kid
we don't wanna hear about
the things you never did
You coulda been a legend
but you became a father
that's what you are today
that's what you are today
- - - Regular Struming
Spending all your time
somewhere inside your head
haunted by the important
life you coulda lead
but your kisses aren't enough
to keep your kids in line
so you better straighten out yourself
and give your baby time
cause if you don't give her what she needs
she'll get it where she can
she's lonely man
Am - C - G - F Like INTRO, Strum only once
Don't,Don't leave yourself alone for too many days
than next one-
Cause sooner than you know youre gonna start slipping
- - -
you'll end up talking to the ghost
of your wife as if you knew her
your eyes will put her everywhere
and spending all your time
somewhere inside your head
haunted by the important
life you coulda lead
you'll fuck yourself to clear your head
you'll close your door and go to bed
you'll try to sleep without a dream
that's where she finds you
that's where she finds you
Don't,Don't leave yourself alone for too many days
than next one-
Cause sooner than you know youre gonna start slipping
- - - 2x
Am Strum Only Once
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
Sorry about the..

Don't forget the alcohol
-strum once and finish-
Its ok, its ok
