Intro:
F5 Bb5 C5 Bb5
Verse 1:
F5 Bb5
I have this dream that I am hitting my dad with a baseball bat
C5 Bb5
And he is screaming and crying for help
F5 Bb5
And maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him
C5 Bb5
Then it ever did protecting myself
F5 Bb5
And I believe that yeah, dad, maybe no one is perfect
C5 Bb5
But I believe that you were pushing your luck
F5
It just sucks it played out like this
Bb5 C5 Bb5
A terrible movie none of the actors even give a fuck
Pre-chorus:
D5 C5
But you look good tonight girlfriend,
Bb5
Can I sleep in your bed?
D5 C5
And when I crawl out in the morning,
F5 Bb5 C5
Can I stay inside your head?
Chorus:
Bb5 C5 D5
'Cause you were high school
F5* Bb5*
And I was just more like real life
Bb5 C5 D5
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend
F5* Bb5*
But I was just more like his wife
Bb5 C5
And it was okay
D5
I'll wear the makeup
F5* Bb5*
I'll do whatever he wants all night
Bb5 C5 D5
'Cause you were okay as a girlfriend
F5* Bb5*
But I was just more like his wife.
Verse 2:
F5
A long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago
Bb5
my great, great, great, great grandfather
took something that did not belong to him
C5
And that is why today I have an eagle in my veins
Bb5
I am part Native American
F5
And I am leaving as soon as I come,
Bb5
As soon as I come you will probably forget my name
C5 Bb5
I hope I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car on the ride home
Pre-chorus:
D5 C5
But you look good tonight girlfriend,
Bb5
Can I sleep in your bed?
D5 C5
And when I crawl out in the morning,
F5 Bb5 C5
Can I stay inside your head?
Chorus:
Bb5 C5 D5
'Cause you were high school
F5* Bb5*
And I was just more like real life
Bb5 C5 D5
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend
F5* Bb5*
But I was just more like his wife
Bb5 C5
And it was okay
D5
I'll wear the makeup
F5* Bb5*
I'll do whatever he wants all night
Bb5 C5 D5
'Cause you were okay as a girlfriend
F5* Bb5*
But I was just more like real life.
F5
More like real life!
