Verse

   CMy father had dementia
   EmHe lied in bed for months
     AmOnce in a while he'd call me
    F         FmAnd ask me to fly down
  DmI told him that I'd love to
    FBut I had things to do
          C    G           AmAnd so he died without his son
  F                            FmI heard about it drunk after a show
   CMy mother battled cancer
    EmFor over seven years
  AmI nursed her and I held her
     F                FmWhen time was running out
    DmThe night before she left me
        FI drank scotch all night
                    C    G           AmAnd thanked her for everything she'd done
F                            FmRaising me alone wasn't much fun


Chorus

   CSo dad I can forgive you,
    GBut I'll never forget, 
Dm                            FMonths I wouldn't see you and when I did
         CYou'd be out with your friends all night
 GAlone and only nine
  DmI watched the outer limits
    FAnd scared out of my mind

  CI wonder if you felt the same

The days before you died
  AmI wonder if you even knew

Why I wouldn't come around
  DmI bet if you had been there,
 
There wouldn't be this song



Outro

C                Am  2006 goodbye parents
                FFor once I'm sincere
                        C2006 that was my orphan year

Lyrics:

My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while he'd call me
And ask me to fly down
I told him that I'd love to
But I had things to do
And so he died without his son
I heard about it drunk after a show

My mother battled cancer
For over seven years
I nursed her and I held her
When time was running out
The night before she left me
I drank scotch all night
And thanked her for everything she'd done
Raising me alone wasn't much fun

So dad I can forgive you, 
But I'll never forget, 
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did
You'd be out with your friends all night
Alone and only nine
I watched the outer limits
And scared out of my mind
I wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died
I wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around
I bet if you had been there, 
There wouldn't be this song

2006 goodbye parents
For once I'm sincere
2006 that was my orphan year
