[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[Dsus4][D][G]
[D][G]
[Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
He was [D]thinking back when he was a kid
His folks were divorced
His old man high on something
Came knocking at the door
His mama would[G]n't talk to him
She said boy dontcha let him in
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
She was [Em]cussing and pa
[G]cing and wasting her life
On that li[D]noleum [Dsus4]floor[D]
He took him back to his old apartment
[G]Turned off the [D]TV
His beautiful broken hero on the couch
[G]Passed out [D]asleep
And he put [G]'em to bed
With tears in his [D]eyes[Dsus4][D]
He said [Em]dad I [G]love you,
goodbye
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Dsus4][D]
He headed out into the night
Seven[G]teen [D]years old
Fired up that rusty old pickup
[G]Turned his collar to the [D]cold
And he [G]headed back to mama's place
Ready for his big [D]escape
And he [Em]tiptoed up the stairs
and left [G]a note
In the cov[D]er's fold

[Verse 4]
It said mom [D]I wish I could wave a wand
And make [G]you smile again
[D]Bring back the man who stole
your heart
'Fore the demons got to him
[G]If I stay here any longer
Something sacred's gonna [D]die
He said mo[Em]m I lo[G]ve you,

[Interlude 1]
goodbye
[D][Dsus4][D][C]
[G][Em]
[G]

[Verse 5]
Took a [D]lot of wrong turns on the road
Finding his life
By the grace of God he ended up
With a little boy and a wife
And the phone [G]call came from his sister
It was that old familiar [D]pain[G][D]
His [Em]mother was at the doorstep
Of heav[G]en's pure white light
[D]

[Verse 6]
At the end of the service
His father [G]came up [D]to him
Clear eyed and sober now he said
Boy Jesus took my sins
[G]And I pray someday maybe
you'll forgive me too
[D]With tears in his [Dsus4]eyes[D]
He said [Em]son I [G]love you, goodbye
[D]

[Verse 7]
His plane touched down in Texas
He pulled out his phone
Dialed in the number, got the machine
Of his old man's home
He said dad [G]we got an extra room
And your grandson has
[D]your eyes
Couldn't say [Em]anything [G]else
Cause he star[D]ted to cry
And he choked out [Em]dad I [G]love you,
goodbye
[D]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Dad I [G]love you, goodbye

[Outro 1]
