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