my f[C]ather had dementia
he [Em]lied in bed for months
[Am]once in a while he'd call me
and [F]asked me to fly down
i [Dm]told him that i'd love to
but [F]i had things to do and
and so he [C]died w[C(B)]ithout his [Am]son
i [Dm]heard about it drunk after a [F]show[Fm]
my [C]mother battled cancer
for [Em]over 7 years
i [Am]nursed her and i held her
when t[F]ime was running out
the [Dm]night before she left me
i [F]drank scotch all night and thanked
her for [C]everyt[C(B)]hing she'd [Am]done
ra[Dm]ising me alone wasn't much [Fm]fun
so, d[C]ad, i can't forgive you
but [C(B)]i'll never forget
[Dm]months i wouldn't see you
and w[F]hen i did you'd be
[C]out with your friends all night
al[C(B)]one and only 9
i w[Dm]atched The Outer Limits
sc[F]ared out of my mind
i w[C]onder if you felt the same
the days before you died
i [Am]wonder if you even knew
why i wouldn't come around
i [Dm]bet if you had been there
there wouldn't be this song
[C]2006
good bye, par[Am]ents
for once sinc[F]ere
2006 - there was my orphan ye[C]ar
outro: C C(H) Em
