G                       C9  
Father was drunk on the porch 
Em7                     D/F#  
Quiet, and cleaning his guns 
G                                 C9   
While we sat, and watched the sun set 
         D                 Em7                       D- 
From the roof, drinking stolen beer the day I turned twelve 
G                  C9 
Mama is losing her mind 
Em7                       D/F# 
So we built a home in the woods 
G                             C9 
And I carved our names in the side 
       D                          Em7                      D-              
With a knife we found beneath the house the day you turned twelve 
 
G        C9  D           Em7 
And I am always reminded of lies  
        D/F#            D  
That we told, but never meant 
     G              C9           D 
And tonight, well I still hear your grin 
        Em7                    D 
Like an echo, sounding from my sins 
 
Come on, let me in 
 
G C9 Em7 D- 
G C9 D Em7 D- D 
 
(Same as first verse) 
I remember the cast on your arm 
From when we were convinced we could fly 
And I would cover it up with fake names 
To make it seem , like you were famous when you came back to school 
And sure we never had much 
But we did just as we pleased 
We had no concern for anything 
Beyond the day we were living in, we had no need to dream
