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                                  D
Pouring over bottles 'cause you wanted to
                                                                       G  D  A  Bm G D A A
Follow father's model so the blame could fall on anyone except for you


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


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


[Chorus]

Continues after the ad
                               D
You used to be the reason I was happy everyday
    A                                 Bm                         D
I'm probably better off without 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             Bm      D                 G  D  A  Bm A G D A A
'Cause I still find your face in every memory I wish I could erase


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