    G#                         
Sometimes he lets that boss get
G#sus   G#   G#sus
 in his head
    G#                    
He can’t past that mountain of 
G#sus  G#                  G#sus
deadlines on his desk
 G#                        G#sus  
5oclock he’s that last one out of 
     G#  G#sus
the gate
       G#                      
And he gets cut off flipped off 
       G#sus G#                   
ticked off out on the interstate
G#sus

        C#                         
And he wonders why this world won’t
            D#
 leave him alone
        C#
Till he hears that little voice 
“daddy’s home"
            Bbm

      G#                     G#sus
She’s held on to that grudge all 
  G#    G#sus
her life
     G#                   G#sus
And thirty years of anger
           G#                      
Since her dad walked out that night
 G#sus

Continues after the ad
    G#                        
She thinks of all the moments 
G#sus G#         G#sus
that he's missed
        G#                         
All the birthdays ballets first 
  G#sus
date
      G#                      G#sus
That seems too much to forget
     C#                        
She gets that call that said he 
        D#
don’t have long
     C#
She walks in

He starts crying

The past is gone

 D#        C#
Time ain’t on my side
 G#           D#
Don’t want to leave this world
 C#
With why didn’t I?
          D#  C#
Why didn’t I?
                D#  C#
Yeah why didn’t I?

    G#                         
Sometimes I take on this world 
G#sus   G#   G#sus
by myself
         G#                    G#sus
Thinking I got all the answers
       G#                 G#sus
Don’t need anybody’s help
      C#                           
Well God was right there waiting 
          D#
for me all along
    C#
To fall down on my knees surrender 
all
