[Intro] C7M G/B Am C7M G/B Am
C G/B Am
I fear I'm dying from complications
C G/B Am
Complications due to things that I've left undone
C G/B
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Am
Feel like a cripple without a cane
C G/B
I'm like a jack of all trades
Am
Who's a master of none
( C7M G/B Am C7M G/B Am )
C
Then there's my father
G/B Am
He's always looking on the bright side
C G/B Am
Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard"
C G/B
He is the grand optimist
Am
I am the world's poor pessimist
C
You give him buttons sometimes
G/B Am
And he will escape unscarred
Em7/G Am
I guess I take after my mother
( C7M G/B Am C7M G/B Am )
C G/B Am
I used to be quite resilient
C G/B Am
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
C G/B
Now the wound has begun to turn
Am
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
C G/B Am
But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy
Em7/G Am
I guess I take after my mother
