    C
my father had dementia
   Em
he lied in bed for months
Am
once in a while he'd call me
    F
and asked me to fly down
  Dm
i told him that i'd love to
    F
but i had things to do and
          C     C(H)       Am
and so he died without his son
  Dm                           F     Fm
i heard about it drunk after a show

   C
my mother battled cancer
    Em
for over 7 years
  Am
i nursed her and i held her
      F
when time was running out
    Dm  
the night before she left me
  F
i drank scotch all night and thanked
        C     C(H)       Am
her for everything she'd done
  Dm                         Fm
raising me alone wasn't much fun

     C
so, dad, i can't forgive you
    C(H)
but i'll never forget
Dm
months i wouldn't see you
     F
and when i did you'd be
C
out with your friends all night
  C(H)
alone and only 9
   Dm
i watched The Outer Limits
  F
scared out of my mind

   C
i wonder if you felt the same
the days before you died
  Am
i wonder if you even knew
why i wouldn't come around
  Dm
i bet if you had been there
there wouldn't be this song

C
2006
             Am
good bye, parents
             F
for once sincere
                             C
2006 - there was my orphan year

outro: C C(H) Em
