Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head
    G#                    G#sus  G#                  G#sus
He can’t past that mountain of deadlines on his desk
 G#                        G#sus       G#  G#sus
5oclock he’s that last one out of the gate
       G#                             G#sus G#                   G#sus
And he gets cut off flipped off ticked off out on the interstate
        C#                                     D#
And he wonders why this world won’t leave him alone
        C#
Till he hears that little voice “daddy’s home"

She’s held on to that grudge all her life
     G#                   G#sus
And thirty years of anger
           G#                       G#sus
Since her dad walked out that night
    G#                        G#sus G#         G#sus
She thinks of all the moments that he's missed
        G#                           G#sus
All the birthdays ballets first date
      G#                      G#sus
That seems too much to forget
     C#                                D#
She gets that call that said he don’t have long
     C#
She walks in

He starts crying

The past is gone

Sometimes I take on this world by myself
         G#                    G#sus
Thinking I got all the answers
       G#                 G#sus
Don’t need anybody’s help
