[Verse 1]
D A
He’d pour a drink and then confess
D
These dreams I’m havin’ haven’t been the best
G Bm A
For all my life of runnin’ wild
D A
Here I am standing next to the mess that I made for myself
[Verse 2]
D A
He never was one to profess
D
All of his mistakes, misgivings, and regrets
G Bm A
But he said son one day you’ll see
D A
How hard it is to say grace before you face the mystery
[Chorus]
G A D
And he’s losing the battle on the front page
Bm A D
And he’s doing all he can to hold his ground
G D G D
And he told me son being sick don’t mean you run
G D A
When all you can do is dig your heels in
Bm A
You wait around
[Verse 3]
D A
Words like worry weren’t his style
D
He said we’ll all burn out after a while
G Bm A
Suddenly Queen screamed in the night
D A
Hare Krishna, Hosanna, holy hell don’t turn out the light
[Chorus]
G A D
And he’s losing the battle on the front page
Bm A D
And he’s doing what he can to hold his ground
G D G D
And he told me son being sick don’t mean you run
G D A
When all you can do is dig your heels in
Bm A
You wait around
