B E C#m F#
[Verse 1]
B E
You swing by late with money for groceries
C#m F#
Forgot writing the check another week
B
I guess I thought that you remembered
E
It's always four days till September
C#m F#
And I pretend to sleep, but I didn't even brush my teeth
G#m F# E B E
And by the time I opened my eyes, your truck was gone
G#m F# E B E
So I cried myself to sleep, just nine years young
[Chorus]
G#m
How could you not love what is yours?
E
How could you leave two perfect boys?
B E
How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love?
G#m
How could you call yourself a man?
E
How could you not know who I am?
B E
How could you not be еnough, but still make me want your love?
[Verse 2]
B E
You both stand at thе door, look at your boy
C#m F#
He's grown into his ears, better to hear
B
You kneel down next to the sofa
E
You brush my hair and look me over
C#m F#
And then you kiss my head, smell cigarettes fresh on your breath
G#m F# E B E
And by the time I got the nerve to tell you off
G#m F# E B E
Well the tar and nicotine finally did their job
[Chorus]
G#m
How could you not love what is yours?
E
How could you leave two perfect boys?
B E
How could you not be enough, but still make me want your love?
G#m
How could you call yourself a man?
E
How could you not know who I am?
B E
How could you not be еnough, but still make me want your love?
[Outro]
G#m E
Still chasing that light that you left behind
B E
Still fighting that fire, waiting for a sign
G#m E
Still chasing that light that you left behind
B E
Still wondering why you left me behind
