The Past

Intro : C

Verse:
C
And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised And how I was 
thrown out on my ass

F
'Cause I didn't care
                    C
'Bout going to school

C
And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I told 
                    F
her that I wanted to go
                      C
Just to prove them wrong

Am
I've been smoking Cigarettes

           F
Since I was only fourteen
        C (hold)
Just to find an escape
          F (hold)                  
C
From this town that was so mean to 
me

C
And I sing songs about my friends

And how we grew up
In all the loose ends, we used to 
F
laugh
                       C
'Cause I didn't give a damn

C
And I saw the look in my brothers 
eyes
When I told him I was leaving
                     F
