Gift From a Holiday Like Pioneers
G C x4
[G]Try for the one thing you know too well.
Found a gift from a ho[Em]liday,
it was covered in as[C]hes and fr[G]ayed.
Pull on my shoes walk ar[C]ound your t[G]own,
saw your boy and he's a[C]ll grown [Em]up.
Wiped the smile clear off when I st[C]ayed.
[Am]Familiar with the thought every night,
[C]you made it here through weeks underneath?
The wo[G]oden bench I left you on was cru[D]mbling, and you blamed me for it[C].
[Am]It never crossed my mind what you need.
[C]You fit it in your pocket and prayed when you pi[G]cked me up,
and dragged me home, I?d l[D]et you off, and leave you alone.
[C]Somebody has to take care of things!
It gets worse, it gets worse, it gets worse with the changes.
G C x2
[G]I put on my necktie and dr[C]ive aro[G]und,
we're gonna freeze when the en[C]gine?s [Em]off.
(Made it just as the cr[C]owd shuffles o[G]ut.)
I shake your old man?s h[C]and on my w[G]ay,
gave me a photo from his dre[C]sser dr[Em]awer
with a message that we're on the m[C]ake.
[Am]Familiar with the thought every night,
[C]you made it here through weeks underneath?
The wo[G]oden bench I left you on was cru[D]mbling, and you blamed me for it[C].
[Am]It never crossed my mind what you need.
[C]You fit it in your pocket and prayed when you pi[G]cked me up,
and dragged me home, I?d l[D]et you off, and leave you alone.
[C]Somebody has to take care of things!
It gets worse, it gets worse, it gets worse with the changes.
[G]I?ll be on the opposite, leave me when you?re feeling low,
[Em]for a week without remark, feels like it?s a blatant joke.
The p[C]art of me you can?t recall makes me feel a different way:
[G]I?ll be waking up the hall screaming out a different name.
[Em]Tables in the dining hall centered with a marking place,
[C]passed through one of my old crowds waiting for a chance to leave.
The p[G]lace began to empty out, a trail was made for you to follow me.
