_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I [G#m] know _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ he's _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] not [F#] _
_ around _ But don't [E] you place [C#m] the blame on [E] me
As [F#] you pour yourself _ another drink, [E] yeah I guess we are who [F#] we are
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
Headlights shining in the dark night I [F#]
drive [G#] home
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ Maybe we took this too [F#]
far
I _ _ _ _ [B] went in head first Never thinking about [G#m] who, what I said, [F#] hurt, in what verse
My mom probably got it the worst [B] Run of it, but a stubbornness
[C#m] Oh, did I take it [G#m] too far?
[F#] Cleaning out my closet and all them other songs But regardless, I don't hate [B] you
Cause mom, you're still beautiful to me [G#m] Cause you're my [F#] mom
Though far be it from you to be calm My house was Vietnam, [E] desert storm
And both of us put together could form an atomic bomb
[F#] Equivalent to chemical warfare And forever we could drag this on [B] and on
But, agree to disagree That [G#m] gift from me [F#] upon to the Christmas tree
Don't mean shit to me You're kicking me out?
It's 15 [E] degrees and it's Christmas [C#m] Eve Little prick, just leave
My [E] lemme grab my fucking [F#] coat Anything to help each other's goat
While we always at each [B] other's throat Especially when dad, he fucked us both
[G#m] We're in the same [F#] fucking boat You'd think that'd make us close
Further away [E] it drove us But together headlights shining
Car full of a longing [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 state at 8 [E] years old
And that's when I realized he was sick And it wasn't [F#] fixable or [D#m] changeable
And to this day we've remained [F#] estranged And I hate it [E] though, but
I guess we are who [F#] we _ are
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _
Headlights shining in the dark night I [F#]
drive [G#] on
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ Maybe we took this too [F#] far
_ Cause _ _ _ [B] _
_ to this day we've remained [G#m] estranged And I hate it [F#] though
Cause you ain't even get to witness your [B] grandbaby's growth
But I'm sorry mama for cleaning out my [G#m] 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 at shows
And I cringe every time [E] it's on the radio And I think of Nathan being placed in a [F#] home
And all the medicine you've 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 too old to cry [E] this shit, it's painful though
But ma, I forgive you So does Nathan, [F#] yo
All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us [B] both
I'm forced to care, that cost you bad Few [G#m] maybe is heavy [F#] as yours
But I love you, Debbie Mathers Oh, what a tangled web we [E] have
Cause one [C#m] thing I never asked [E] was Where the fuck my deadbeat [F#] dad was
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 desert [F#] cactus
Owned a collection of maps And followed my kid to the [B] edge of the atlas
[C#m] Someone ever moved him from me?
[E] That's who could've bet your [F#]
asses
If I had to come down the chimney, dressed as Santa, [B] kidnap him
And all the one has only met the [G#m] grandma [F#] once You pulled up in a tribe one night
As we were leaving to get some [E]
hamburgers Me, [C#m] her, and Nate, we [E] introduced you, hugged you
[F#] And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness [B] 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 I didn't [C#] get the chance to
Thank you for being my mom and my [E] dad So mom, [F#] please accept this as a tribute
I wrote this on the jet I guess I [G] had to get this [Em] off my chest
I hope I get the [G] chance to lay it [A] for him, take this to the center
Fasten my seatbelt, I guess we're [B]
crashin'
So if I'm not [G#m] dreamin' I hope you [F#] get this message
That I will always love you from afar
[E] _
Like it's we are who we are

Headlights shinin' in the dark night I [F#]
drive on
[G#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _

far
I want a new _ [B]
life _ _ One without a [G#m]
cause
So I'm comin' home [E]
tonight Well, no matter what the [F#] _
cost
And if the plane [B] goes down Or if the crew can't wake [G#m] me up
Well, just know that I'm [E]
alright _ I was not afraid [F#] to die
_ Oh, even if the [B]
stars are safe Or my children [G#m] will carry me
Just know [B] that I'm [E]
alright _ I was not afraid [F#] to die
_ Because I put my faith [B] in my new cause So I never said [G#m] goodbye cruel world
Just know that [E] I'm alright _ I am not afraid [F#] to die

Like it's we are who we [F#] _
