[Intro:]
C Em Am C Em Am
[Verse]
C G Am
I fear I'm dying of complications
C G Am
Complications due to things that I've left undone
C Em
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Am
Feel like a cripple without a cane
C G
I'm like a jack of all trades
Am
Who's a master of none
[Verse]
C G
Then there's my father
Am
He's always looking on the bright side
C G Am
Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard"
C Em
He is the grand optimist
Am
I am the world's poor pessimist
C G
You give him buttons sometimes
Am
And he will escape unscarred
[Pre-Chorus/Chorus:]
G Am
I guess I take after my mother x2
I used to be quite resilient
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
Now the wound has begun to turn
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy
