• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: C

Intro:


Am G C F  (x4)


Verse 1:
  Am   G    C     F
My old man bought a big bass boat
    Am      G     C   F
When I think of that summer of hope I choke
   Am     G       C       F
Cause even if we didn’t catch a little bit of something
   Am    G      C      F
We’d park that boat by the bluff at the days inn
    Am      G      C     F
I got a need to find trouble when things are alright,
 Am    G      C    F
I pine for pain in the morning light
  Am      G      C    F
And even with my baby sitting next to me
   Am    G     C    Am
I’m a self sabotaging suicide machine

Chorus:
      Am   G   C
And you’re going, going, going
 C
Til the Lord calls you home in,
   G                 F
Your work boots and your worn coveralls
      Am     G     C
And you’ll show them, show them, show them
     C
With your high collateral loan on
   G                     F
That home where your children play with dolls



Instrumental:
Am G C F
Am G C F


Verse 2:
       Am     G       C    F
Cause I was raised by a woman who was hardly impressed
   Am     G     C     F
And I carry that shit real deep in my chest
    Am      G      C    F
Cause I ain’t ever been one for cheap excuses,
   Am      G       C       F
And apologies have always been a little late or useless
      Am      G       C       F
But if you give me four minutes and a little ‘bit of time,
   Am      G    C       F
I’ll make them old days an old friend of mine
  Am      G       C    F
And I can talk to God and I can pray all day
    Am     G         C      F
But you can’t heal something that you never raised


Chorus:
      Am   G   C
And you’re going, going, going
 C
On Thanksgiving day
      G              F
when you’re sneaking off to drink some alcohol,
      Am     G     C
And you’ll show them, show them, show them
       C
While you’re kissing all the knees of
G                 F
Every scrape and every bloody fall


Instrumental:
Am G C F

Outro:
  Am   G    C     F
My old man bought a big bass boat
    Am      G     C   F
When I think of that summer of hope I choke
   Am     G       C       F
Cause even if we didn’t catch a little bit of something
   Am    G      C      F
We’d park that boat by the bluff at the days end
