[B] Mom, [G#m] I know I let [F#] you down
[E] And oh you say the days [D#m] are happy
[G#m] Why is [F#] the power off?
And I'm [B] fucked up in the morn
I [G#m] know he's not [F#] around
[E] But don't you play for money
As [F#] you pour yourself another drink
I [B] went and hit first
Never thinking about who, [G#m] what I said, [F#] hurt
In what verse?
My mom probably got it the [E] worst
Run of [D#m] it, blood of [D#m] stubbornness
Oh, [G#m] did I take it too far?
Cleaning [F#] out my closet and all them other songs
But regardless, [B] I don't hate you
Cause Mom, you're still beautiful to me
[G#m] Cause you're my mom
[F#] Though far be it from you to be calm
My house was [E] Vietnam, desert storm
And both of us put [D#m] together
Cause bomb and [E] atomic bomb
[F#] Equivalent to chemical warfare
And forever we could [B] drag this on and on
But, agree to disagree
That [G#m] gift from me up [F#] under the Christmas tree
Don't mean shit to me
You're kicking me [E] out
It's 15 [B] degrees and it's Christmas [C#m] Eve
Little picture [D#m] Steve
Mom, let me [E] grab my fucking [F#] coat
Anything to help each other's goat
Why we always at each other's [B] throat?
Especially when Dad, he fucked us both
[G#m] We're in the same fucking [F#] boat
You'd think that'd make us close
[B] Further away, it drove us
But [D#m] together, headlights [D#m] shine
And car full [E] of along
And [F#] still got a ways to go
Back to Grandma's house, it's straight up the road
[B] And I was the man of the house, the oldest
So my shoulders [G#m] carried the weight of [F#] the load
Then Nick got taken away by the [E] state at eight years [D#m] old
And [B] that's when I realized [D#m] you were sick
And it [E] wasn't [E] fixable or [D#m] changeable
And to this day, [E] we've remained [B] estranged
And I hate it [E] though, but
I guess we are who we [F#] are
[B] [F#] [E] Headlights shining in the dark
Night eye [F#] drive [G#] on
[E] But maybe we've missed too [F#] far
Cause [B] to this [G#m] day, we've remained estranged
And I hate it [F#] though
Cause you ain't even get to witness
[B] Your [E] grandbaby's growth
But I'm sorry, Mama, for cleaning up my closet
At the [F#] time, I was angry, rightfully, maybe so
Never meant that far to take it [B] though
Cause now I know it's not your fault
[G#m] And I'm not making [F#] jokes
That song I no longer play, it shows
And [B] I cringe every time [C#m] it's on the radio
And [D#m] I think of Nathan [E] being placed in a [F#] home
And all the medicine you fed us
And how I just wanted you to taste [B] your own
But now the medication's taking [G#m] over
And [F#] your mental state's deteriorating slow
And I'm way [B] too old to cry, [E] this shit is painful though
But Ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan, [F#] yo
All you did, all you said, you did [B] your best to raise us both
Foster care, that cost you bad
You [G#m] may be as heavy [F#] as yours
But I love you, Debbie Mathers
Oh, what [B] a tangled web we [E] have
Cause one thing I never asked was
Would I fuck my dead be [F#] dead?
But fuck it, I guess he had trouble
Keeping up with every [B] address
But I'd have flipped every mattress
Every [G#m] rock and gassed [F#] cactus
Owned a collection of maps
And followed [E] my kid to the edge of the avenue
Someone would have removed him from me
That's who could have bet [F#] your asses
If I had to come down the chimney
And I'm already dressed to stand up
[B] Kidnap him, and all but one has only met their [G#m] grandma
[F#] Once, you pulled up in our tribe one night
As we were leaving to get [E] some hamburgers
Me, her, and Nate, we introduced you
Hugged you, [F#] and as you left I had this
Overwhelming [B] sadness come over me
As we pulled off to go our separate [G#m] paths
And I [F#] saw your headlights as I looked back
And I'm mad [E] I didn't get the chance to
Thank you for being Mom, I meant my dad
So, [F#] Mom, please accept this as a tribute
I wrote this on the jet
I guess [G] I had to get this off my chest
I hope I get the chance to lay [A] it for him
And the students said to fasten my seatbelt
I guess [B] we're crashing
So, if I'm not [G#m] dreaming
I hope [F#] you get this message that I
Will always love [B] you from afar
[E] You're my mama
Like a sweet young [F#] boobie
Your [B] [F#] [E] headlights shining in the dark
Night [F#] I die, [G#] Mom
[E] Maybe we took this too [F#] far
I wanna [B] know
[E] And oh you say the days [D#m] are happy
[G#m] Why is [F#] the power off?
And I'm [B] fucked up in the morn
