I don't know if I've said anything
in this life that's worth re-mem-ber-ing
Nothing bold, nothing brave
just these tired old phrases
And I don't know what they mean
I've written my old self a letter
I've moved on, I already forget her
She's gone, we're alone, far from our home
but I promised me things will get better
chords:
notes:
The Devil is laughing at me
he knows all the evil I've seen
And though he helped them begin
I own all my sins
And the fault lies clearly with me
I'm tired of coming home smelly
half a bottle of Jack in my belly
My eyes red, my throat sore
My young body too worn out to
still only be in it's twenties
instrumental full mellody:

And I'm sorry for being so bad
to my dear old mother and dad
I threw some fits,
they put up with it
and now I owe them all that I am
Someday when my folks meet their end
if by chance I live longer than them
For the love that they gave
and the music we made
I'll be proud to have called them my friends
