about something that you didn't do.
[G] And now [A] your ma is almost [F#m] dying, and you feel all on your [G] own, and I'm sitting here almost [F#m] crying.
But I [G] want you to know that you won't be alone [Bm] when she goes.
[G]
[Bm] You were someone I could [G] go off to, [Bm] someone I could [G] stay up with, someone I could talk to,
someone to play with, and I hope my son finds a friend like you.

[G]
You [Bm] did things while I [G] backed out.
[Bm] You stuck up while [G] I snuck back.
[Bm] [G] People thought that we were [Bm] drunk or taking something, [G] but we were [Bm] only having fun, [G] never taking none.
[D] [Bm] [D] I remember [Bm] swimming in the ocean, even when we didn't want to, [D] but we had [Bm] to because we said we [D] would.
I [Bm] remember [D] listening to Bowie [Bm] and Elton and the Beatles and curling weights until the blood in our vein was bulging.
[D] [Bm] And you told me all your [G] secrets that [A] no one knew in the middle of the night in [F#m] my parents' back room.
