[Verse]
My A5father had dementia
He C#5lied in bed for months
Once F#5in a while he'd call me,
and D5ask me to fly down
I B5told him that I'd love to
But D5I had things to do
And so he diA5ed withG#augout his F#5son
I B5heard about it drunk after a shD5ow
My A5mother battled cancer
For C#5over seven years
I F#5nursed her and I held her
When D5time was running out
The B5night before she left me
I D5drank scotch all night
And thanked hA5er for eG#augverything she'd F#5done
B5Raising me alone wasn't much fD5un
[Chorus]
So A5dad I can forgive you,
but E5I'll never forget,
B5Months I wouldn't see you and D5when I did
You'd be out A5with your friends all night
AE5lone and only nine
I B5watched the outer limits
D5Scared out of my mind
I A5wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died G#aug
I F#5wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around E5
I B5bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song
[Bridge]
A5 Two thousand sixG#aug F#5 goodbye parents
For once, E5I'm D5sincere
Two thousand six
My orphan yeA5ar
