[Dm]
[Bb] [C]
[F] I'm not afraid of you now, [C] I know So [F] I climb down from the [Dm] bunk beds [C] this low
[F]
I can talk back [Dm] to you now, [C] I know From [F] a few things that I [Dm] learned from [C] this
TV show [F]
You can work late till [Dm] midnight, we [C] don't
care We [G] can fix [F] our own pills, we can [Dm] wash our
[C] own hair
[F] I go to school [Dm] before sunrise, [C] in the cold
[F] And I pulled the alarm, and I kicked up the salad [Gm] bowls
[F]
[C] [Bb]
Since [F] the time [Gm] we've learnt [F] to say [Gm] much, [F] my sad things [Gm] begin [F] to fade
[Bb]
After [C] school [F] [Gm] we [F] shovel through [Gm] the [F] sky, while staying [Gm]
[F] silent still in the cold
You can remind me of [Bb] it,
[F] that I [C] was lazy and tired
[Gm]
You can work [C]
all your [Dm] life [Bb] fast, [F] I'm not [G] afraid of you [Am] anymore

I loved you, [Dm] oh a long time, [C] I don't know If [Dm] I can't recall, the last time [C] you told me so
[F] Here in this house, in [Dm]
Pittsfield, [C] the ghost [Bb] of our [Dm] grandmother works at the sewing [C] machine post
[F] Hiding the bills [Dm] in the kitchen, [C] on the floor
[Dm] And my sister lost her best friend in [C] the Persian Gulf War
[F] There was a flood [Dm] in our bathroom [C] last May
And you [Dm] kicked at the pipes when it rattled [F] of the river in May
[Bb] [F] Stand there telling [Gm] me [F] that I'm off, [Bb] no
[F]
Things unspoken [Gm] break [F] us in [Bb] pieces
There's [F] still time [Bb] to [F] wash the kitchen [Bb] floor
From [F] your piece [Gm] of bath, [F] I'll sing [Bb] what you think
You can [Dm] remind me [Gm] that I [F] was tired
[Bb] You can work [Dm] later [Gm] at the [F] bar
Now [Bb] [Dm] that I've older, [Gm] wiser, [F] and working [Bb] less
I regret [F]
[Gm] having left the [F] church with a [Bb] mess
You [G] can remind me
[Bb] [C] that I was lazy and tired
[Bb] [Gm] You can work all [C] your [Bb] life fast, I'm not [Gm] afraid of you
