Intro
[C] [-] [Am] [-] [F] [-] [G]
Verse
My [C]father had dementia
He [Em]lied in bed for months
Once [Am]in a while he'd call me
And [F]ask me to [Fm]fly down
I [Dm]told him that I'd love to
But [F]I had things to do
And so he [C]died [G]without his [Am]son
I [F]heard about it drunk after a [Fm]show
My [C]mother battled cancer
For [Em]over seven years
I [Am]nursed her and I held her
When [F]time was running [Fm]out
The [Dm]night before she left me
I drank [F]scotch all night
And thanked her for [C]every[G]thing she'd [Am]done
[F]Raising me alone wasn't much [Fm]fun
Chorus
So [C]dad I can forgive you,
But [G]I'll never forget,
[Dm]Months I wouldn't see you and [F]when I did
You'd be [C]out with your friends all night
A[G]lone and only nine
I [Dm]watched the outer limits
And [F]scared out of my mind
I [C]wonder 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
Outro
[C] 2006 goodbye pa[Am]rents
For once I'm sin[F]cere
2006 that was my orphan [C]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
