[C][G][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
My [C]old man [G]bought a big [Am]bass [F]boat
When I [C]think of that [G]summer of [Am]hope,
I [F]choke
'Cause [C]even if we [G]didn't catch
a [Am]little bit of [F]somethin'
We'd [C]park that [G]boat
by the [Am]bluff at the [F]day's end
I got a [C]need to find [G]trouble
when [Am]things are al[F]right
I [C]pine for [G]pain in the [Am]mornin' [F]light
And [C]even with my [G]baby sittin' [Am]next
to [F]me
I'm a [C]self-sabo[G]tagin' sui[Am]cide ma[F]chine

[Chorus 1]
And you're [F]goin', goin', goin'
'Til the [C]Lord calls you home in
Your [G]work boots and your worn cover[F]alls
And you'll show them, show them, show them
With your [C]high collateral loan on
That [G]home where your children play with [F]dolls

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Am][F]
[C][G][Am][F]

[Verse 2]
'Cause I was [C]raised by a [G]woman
who was [Am]hardly im[F]pressed
And I [C]carry that [G]shit really [Am]deep in [F]my chest
'Cause I ain't [C]ever been [G]one
for [Am]cheap ex[F]cuses
And a[C]pologies have [G]always been
a [Am]little late or [F]useless
But if you [C]give me four [G]minutes
and a [Am]little bit of [F]time
I'll [C]make them old [G]days,
an old [Am]friend of [F]mine
And I can [C]talk to [G]God,
and I can [Am]pray [F]all day
But you [C]can't heal [G]somethin'
that you [Am]never [F]raised

[Chorus 2]
And you're [F]goin', goin', goin'
On [C]Thanksgivin' Day when
You're [G]sneakin' off to drink some alco[F]hol
And you'll show them, show them, show them
While you're [C]kissin' all the knees of
[G]Every scrape and every bloody [F]fall

[Interlude 2]
