[Verse]
C G/B Am
I fear I'm dying of complications
C G/B Am
Complications due to things that I've left undone
C G/B
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Am
Feel like a cripple without a cane
C G/B
I'm like a jack of all trades
Am
Who's a master of none

Intro twice, on the second time he throws in
a little riff. Dallas plays it that way.

[Verse 2]
C G/B
Then there's my father
Am
He's always looking on the bright side
C G/B Am
Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard"
C G/B
He is the grand optimist
Am
I am the world's poor pessimist
C G/B
You give him burdens sometimes
Am
And he will escape unscarred
[Pre-Chorus/Chorus]
G Am
I guess I take after my mother
G Am
I guess I take after my mother
C G/B Am
I used to be quite resilient
C G/B Am
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
C G/B
Now the wound has begun to turn
Am
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
C G/B Am
But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy
G Am
I guess I take after my mother
