Intro: Am G C F x4

Verse:
   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

Am G C F x4

Verse:
             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

Am G C F x2

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
