[Intro 1]
[F][Dm][F][Am][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
As the [F]months move on,
we hardly speak
Your hair turns to [Dm]grey and that heart's
growing [F]tired and weak
[Am]I shoveled the dirt and made a grave
for you to sleep [G]in
Because you're dead to [Am]me so[Em][F][Dm][F][Em][F][Am][Em][F][Dm][F]
[Em]take your [F]last [Am]breath
[Em][F][Dm][F][Em][F][Am][Em][F][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[F][Em]
[F]Fro[Am]m the second I awo[F]ke to [Dm]the e[F]ar[Em]th,[F]
I was [Am]destined [F]to grow [Dm]without [F]you[Em] and[C] suffer
[F]Selfish, [Dm]reckl[F]ess an[Em]d a f[F]ien[Am]d,
[C]you chose that [F]bastard [Em]over your [C]family

[Verse 3]
[F]How can we hope to pick up all the pie[Am]ces when
you're destroying the [G]ground we stand on?
[F]Those drugs that you crave burned holes in your
brain and [Am]paved the path for [G]the life you hate

[Verse 4]
[F]God damn you for leaving
when we needed [C]you
[Dm]Hell bent on saving only yours[G]elf [Am]but that crippling defeat and the cancer you breat[G]he,
it finally caught up to [F]you
Now it's plain [C]to [F]see [Dm]I don't
need you in that [Am]same old way
I don't [G]need you to be here
[Am]at a[C]ll[F]

[Verse 5]
[Em]A thousand miles away from [Am]home but
you [Em]wouldn't even fucking [Am]know
[Em]Mother, tell me where you've been,
I refuse to hear anymore of [Dm]this [Em]deafening [Am]silence
[Em]Cons[F]ider[Dm] thi[Am]s br[Em]idge burned[Am]
[F]and[Am] I'll con[F]sider you gone[Dm] forever
[Em]You don't have the b[Am]ackbone[Em]
to face [Am]the one's you [G]left for dead
You [Am]don't have the [Am]backbone
[Em]This is the last time we'l[Am]l speak
[G]so listen closely

[Verse 6]
[F]How can we hope to pick up all the [Am]pieces when
you're destroying the [G]ground we stand on?
[F]Those drugs that you crave burned holes in your
brain and [Am]paved the path for [G]the life you hate

[Verse 7]
[F]God damn you for leaving
when we needed [C]you
[Dm]Hell bent on saving only yours[G]elf [Am]but that crippling defeat and the cancer you breat[G]he,
it finally caught up to [F]you
Now it's plain [C]to [F]see [Dm]I don't
need you in that [Am]same old [G]way
[Em]I do[F]n't [Dm]need[Am]
you to be here [G]at all

[Verse 8]
[Am]I tried [C]to [G]save you but you
[F]slipped [Am]away[Em][E][Em][C]
I was once [Em]your [C]son,
now you [Em]have no part in what I've [Am]become
[Em]Stranger, you [C]threw it a[Em]ll away
for that lesser [Em]man
Now [C]you must sleep in the
bed [Em]you've made
[Dm]No forgi[Em]veness for the t[Em]hings you say
or the choices that took you [Em]away
No fighting for [Em]a second chance,
[Em]the earth will turn and you'll be dead

[Outro 1]
