If I could rewind time like a tape
                              Em   
Inside a boombox, one day for every
                               Am
 pill or Percocet that I ate

Cut down on the Valium, I'da heard 
everything
But death is turning so 
                 C
definite—wait!

They got me all hooked up to some 
machine
   G
I love you, being, didn't want you 
to know I was struggling
Am
Feels like I'm underwater submerged 
like a submarine

Just heard that nurse say, my liver 
and kidneys aren't functioning
      C
Been flirtatious with death, 
skirt-chasing, I guess
            Em
It's arrivederci, same nurse, just 
heard say they're unplugging me
               Am
And it's your birthday, Jade, I'm 
missing your birthday
Baby girl, I'm sorry, I fucking hate
                       C
 when you hurt, Hai

And sweeties, thank you for waiting 
to open gifts
               G
But, girls, you can just open 'em
Dad ain't making it home for 
            Am
Christmas

Wish I had the strength to just blow
 a kiss

I go to make a fist, but I can't 
make one, I'm frozen stiff
        C
I yell, but nothing comes out, I'm 
crying inside, I shout
    Em                           
My vocal cords won't permit me, I 
                              Am
scream, but it's not aloud

You put your arm around Mama to calm
 her, wow
I just thought about the aisle, I'll
                              C
 never get to walk us down

Never see you graduate in your caps 
and gowns

     G                           
It's 'bout to be 2008, how's this 
                 Am
happening now?

I've got so much more to do
And, Proof, I'm truly sorry if I let
 you down, but this tore me in two
 C


The thought of no more me and you
             Em                  
You gave me shoes, Nikes like new 
                     Am
for me for school

Doody, I'm trying, but you, you were
 the glue that binded
So many things—time, I'd give 
                        C
anything to rewind it
I had to walk down my halls and 
                         G
constantly be reminded
By pictures all on my walls and I 
                                  Am
couldn't sleep at night 'cause

That image burned in my brain of you
 on that table
Me falling across your body, not 
                             C
able to stand to save you

God, why did you take him?
                   Em
I´m tryna keep his legacy alive, but
 I´m dying, where's Nathan?
        Am
Little ladies, be brave, take care 
of your mother

Smile pretty for pictures, always 
cherish each other
             C
I'll always love ya, and I'll be in 
the back of your memory
                     G
And I know you'll never forget me

Just don't get sad when remembering
     Am
And, little bro, keep making me 
proud

You better marry that girl 'cause 
she's faithfully down
                    C
And when you're exchanging those 
sacred vows
Just know that if I could be there, 
  Em
I would

And should you ever see parenthood, 
I know you'll be good at it
Am
Oh, almost forgot to do something, 
thank my father too

I actually learned a lot from you
                   C
You taught me what not to do

And, Mom, wish I'd have had the 
chance
   G                           
To have one last heart-to-heart 
                                 Am
honest and open talk with you

Doody, I see you, I go to walk to 
you
And I can feel my soul leave my body
                             C
 and float across the room
Nurses lean over the bed, pulling 
              Em
tubes out
Then the sheet over my head, shut 
                 Am
the room down

Girls, please don't get upset
I see them cheeks soaking and wet, 
                         C
so forcibly, don't wanna let
Me go, pillow drenched, emotional 
 G
wrecks
With every second, each closer to 
        Am
death

But suddenly I feel my heart begin 
to beat slow

Then a breath, machines go (*beep 
beep beep*)
                     C
Must've guessed the cheat codes to 
this shit
                     Em
I'm tryna rewind time like a tape
Find an escape, make a beeline, try
Am
 and awake

From this dream, I need to re-find 
my inner strength
To remind me, even if a steep climb 
C
I must take
