DmC
I guess you could call it text book
Gm
I was looking for the father
Dm
I wanted back
DmC
And I thought I found it in Brentwood
GmA7
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily had my back
DmF
And then there was the issue of her
CGm
I didn't even like myself, or love the life I had
Dm
And there you were with shinin' stars
F
Standin' clear with open arms
CGm
You touched the detriment, most of the friends I knew already had
[Chorus]
BbF
You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too
CDm
Let's rewrite his story, I'll do this dance with you
Bb
You know I'm not that girl
F
You know I'll never be
CDm
Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
BbFC
And there we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd by the Old Man River
Dm
And I saw you saw who I am
BbFC
God, I wish I was with my father, he could see us in all our splendor
Dm
All the things I couldn't want for him
BbF
I screamed for them, oh, oh, oh
CDm
And screamed for them, ah
[Verse 2]
DmC
Could we do this dance again?
GmDm
Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back?
DmC
I guess this is really the end
GmA7
I never felt jealous before this year, but I'm jealous now
DmF
People say we're too much alive
C
But maybe if I lay dead that would make right in the end
Gm
Of all these sleepless nights
Dm
Other men I met felt right
F
Would smile at you and stick a knife
C
In your back
Gm
Finally, I met you so I'm not wonderin' why
[Chorus]
BbF
You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one too
CDm
Let's rewrite his story, I'll do this dance with you
Bb
You know I'm not that girl
F
You know I'll never be
CDm
Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
BbFC
And there we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in a crowd by the Old Man River
Dm
And I saw you saw who I am
BbFC
God, I wish I was with my father, he could see us in all our splendor
Dm
All the things I couldn't want for him
BbF
I screamed for them, oh, oh, oh
CDm
And screamed for them, ah
[Outro]
BbF
Old Man River keeps rollin'
C
With or without him
DmBb
Old Man River keeps rollin'
FC
Without him, oh my old man
DmBbFC
Old Man River keeps rollin', oh
