His Emmother came up Bsus4with such a Cclever way to Dadd11save the day with a Asus2little white lie

Em Bm C* Dadd11*
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
Em Bm C* Dadd11*
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son
One Amperson can Bsus4make a Cdifference, Dadd11sometimes
Just Amturn his head when the Bsus4kid is still and Chas a Dadd11weak neck
[NC]
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
EmAll his soBsus4lutions, it seemed,C were only Dadd11problems in disAsus2guise
EmGlueing on his Bsus4drinkin' face,C got ready Dadd11to erase aAsus2nother day
CAPO 2
AmMother was yet Fconfident, alAmthough they had it Ftight, taught her Cson
At the Dmend of every Etunnel's a little light
It wasn't a Amlie, it was her Fhope, that everyAmthing would be fFine one day
CHe can fulfill his Dmevery dream, I'm Ehappy as long as he's not
F..I Ghate it and Afear can't Eface it
The Fchild is not Gright, he's my Agreatest Eshame
Go Fout, create Gthunder, and Astand right Eunder

That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those
AmLost hopes, Fall those Gkind words could Churt him C/Beven Ammore, now
FSomehow, Glost one more Cway back C/Bhome
CAPO 4
Out Emon the lake, he Bsus4rows towards a Cmonster he should've been Dadd11running away from, Asus2years ago
The Empast had made him Bsus4blind to the Cway he'd turned the Dadd11pain into a Asus2way of life
CAPO 2
AmFollowed his Ffather, tucked him Amin, Caleb Fknows the trade
CHe's the Dmportrait of a Eman his mother drew to hate forAmever
She was a Fbeast, a deadly Amsaint, wrong in Fmany ways
C Dm E [CHANGE CAPO to 4 NOW]
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
(TIME CHANGE 6/8)
