The Soundtrack To Missing A Slam Dunk

D
Come one, come all

See the kid who can't breathe

Attempt to explain why his voice has
 been failing
G                             
Pouring over bottles 'cause you 
     D
wanted to
Follow father's model so the blame 
could fall on anyone except for you
G  D  A  Bm G D A A



[Verse 1]
G                Em              
You told me that you were finally
   Bm
 happy
                   G
When you had your arm around me on 
New Year's Eve
              Em                
I guess the words you said meant 
   Bm
nothing


[Pre-Chorus]
    G                              
So this is how it's gonna go, 
   Em                     
sloppy drunk and through a 
    Bm D
telephone?
D                G
Clutching to a bottle and a plastic 
bowl
                             Em    
She was crying in the back, I guess
            Bm
 you gotta go


[Chorus]
G
Come one, come all
         D
See the kid who can't breathe

Attempt to explain why his voice has
 been failing
 G             D
Pouring over bottle 'cause you 
wanted to
Follow father's model so the blame 
                                  G
could fall on anyone except for you
Continues after the ad
                               D
You used to be the reason I was 
happy everyday
    A                              
I'm probably better off without 
   Bm                         D
you, but I wish you would have 
stayed
G                              D
I hope there’s a highlight reel of
 nights we had on loop inside your 
brain
                           A    
'Cause I still find your face in 
         Bm      D                 
every memory I wish I could erase
G  D  A  Bm A G D A A



[Verse 2]
                          G
Did you think you could write me 
off?
                            Em     
Get the pictures that you said you 
        Bm
wanted, all of me
             G
That your heart beats in time with 
aisle steps in your dreams
           Em                      
But your blood displacement says 
     Bm                   G
you just wanted someone to sleep 
with

So when my mother told me you were 
just using me

I always hoped you'd prove her 
wrong, but you kept your tongue in 
check


[Pre-Chorus]

    G                              
So this is how it's gonna go, 
   Em                     
sloppy drunk and through a 
    Bm D
telephone?
D                G
Clutching to a bottle and a plastic 
bowl
                             Em    
She was crying in the back, I guess
            Bm
