Intro: C - Em - C - Em7 - D
Verse 1:
C
It was 1985
Em C
When your son and I drove by
Em D
And saw you standing there
C
Outside the liquor store
Em C
With a bottle in your hand
Em D
Living the life you chose
Pre-Chorus:
Am G C
I always wondered why
Am
We just drove on by
D
I never saw you again
Chorus:
G Am
You never tried to be a better man
Em C
You chose to run instead
G Am
All of the guilt you carried
Em C
Was written on your face
G Am
I never knew the day you died
Em C
Would take it all away
Verse 2:
C
Soon his mother died
Em
And all the locked up pain inside
C Em D
Began to rear its head
C
And all the memories
Em
Like some old bad disease
C Em D
Was finally put to bed
Pre-Chorus:
Am G C
I always wondered why
Am
We just drove on by
D
But now I understand
(Chorus)
Bridge: F - C - F - C - D
