Mama and grandmother I know you're dressed in blue
Tomorrow's town crowds pass you by They won't have a clue what you're going
[C#] through They won't have a clue
You [G#] _
[C#] lost a father and a husband just two days ago
Tell the truth I ain't never seen that kind of strength down in the soul
That kind [F#] that you hold _ down in [G#] your soul _
Cause you know time don't heal, it's just fading [F#] like the flaws of a nose
[G#] You can hide the pain away, even [F#] if it's carved right into you
Like an [C#] old tattoo, _ _ _ _ like an old tattoo
_ _ [G#] _ _ _
[C#] I'm sorry dear grandfather, know I've showed up late
Couldn't be beside you for your last few breaths
Stand by while you're late [G#] and tell your [F#] old family
_ But I forgot [C#] to say _ _
It seemed like every Christmas was the closest that we got
It was how you done what else is new, over beers in the garage
And I was [F#] always gone, but I love you [C#] right or wrong
And I [G#] know time don't heal, it's just [F#] fading like the flaws of a [C#] nose
I [G#] can hide the pain away, [F#] even if it burns the bitter truth
Like an [C#] old tattoo _ _ _ _ _
[B] Know it ain't just pain that lies under [C#] the skin _
_ [G#] There's a heart that gets scarred but never [B] _ spends
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ I love you
_ [C#] I love you _ _
And [G#] I know _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] time don't heal, it's just [F#] fading like the flaws of a nose
I [G#] can hide the pain away, [F#] even if it burns the bitter truth _ _
Like an [C#] old tattoo, _ _ _ _ like an old tattoo _ _ _ _ _
