[Intro] C  Bm  Am  G 

C         Bm         Am                G
They got five televisions in a house built for three
C              Bm
Look upon that fake fireplace
Am                 G
You know the bucktoothed boy is me
C            Bm                Am           G
See that wood paneled room? That's where I learned to drink
C           Bm            Am                G
You see that hole in the wall? That was seagrams I think

C           Bm
And that tree was a goal post
Am            G
That bathroom it was a shroud
C              Bm
That closet it was a phone booth
Am              G
And that mirror it was a crowd
C             Bm
See that guy with the bad knees
Am            G
And his heart on his sleeve?
C            Bm
Watch him slip me ten dollars
Am             G       G
When it comes time to leave

Em                   Am    
It's been five years and some change
Em                 Am        
And this world is gettin' so strange
Em                    Am    
But this house smells just the same
C    
And my mom
C 
My sweet mom
C                   Bm     Am  G
She don't remember my name

C      Bm  Am
My mom
G        C       Bm      Am  G
She can't remember my name
C        Bm  Am  G
Not my mom

C        Bm                 Am                G
I sit on her bed, and I kiss her right behind the ear
C         Bm             Am          G
She calls out for a dog that's been dead for a year
C           Bm             Am        G
I say "How is it going?" just like I didn't know
C                    Bm         Am               G
I hold on to both of her hands too afraid to let her go
C         Bm        Am           G
And five times exactly, no more and no less
C                   Bm
She says "How you been eatin', boy?"
Am       G
And I say "Ok, I guess"
C              Bm           Am            G
In this room where she made me, each day she grows weak
C             Bm
She flips on the Golden Girls
Am             G   
And the first tear hits my cheek

Em                   Am 
It's been five years and some change
Em                 Am 
And this world is gettin' so strange
Em                     Am  
But this house smells just the same
C    
And my mom
C    
My sweet mom
C                   Bm     Am  G
She don't remember my name

C      Bm  Am
My mom
G          C     Bm    Am  G
Can't remember my name
C      Bm       Am
She's my mom now
G         C       Bm       Am  G
She can't remember my name
C    Bm  Am  G         C    Bm     Am   G
My mom      can't remember my name
C    Bm  Am  G
My mom
