1, [A] 2, 3, 4
[D] I [A]
[D] [A] had my [D] future wrapped up [E] in a parcel
And [D] no one [E] even thought of [A] asking me
The day I [D] turned fifteen I [E] caught the mail train
[D] To find what [E] else might be in [A] life for me
I [F#m] rode on trucks, trains and [C#] lived on nuts
[F#m] Served me right for wanting [B] to be free
Ah [A] well, that's the [D] way society [E] looked at it
[D] But it didn't [E] seem to be that [A] way to me
And the biggest [D] disappointment [A] in the family was me
The only [D] twisted branch [E] upon our good old family tree
[A] I just couldn't [C#] be the person [F#m] they expected [B] me to be
[A] And the biggest [D] disappointment [E] in the world [A] was [D] me
[A] A [D]
[A] lot more [D] dinner times than [E] there were dinners
[D] Oh, I learned a [E] lot that hurt me [A] at the time
That this quiet [D] country boy went [E] home a different man
[D] With a memory [E] of distance [A] on my mind
[F#m] I guess I spoke too loud and [C#] laughed too often
[F#m] And maybe drank too many [B] glasses down
[A] Ah, perhaps my [D] clothes were older than [E] I realized
[D] A relief to all [E] concerned when I [A] left town
And the biggest [D] disappointment [A] in the family was me
The only [D] twisted branch [E] upon our good old family tree
[A] I just couldn't be [C#] the person [F#m] they expected me [B] to be
[A] And the biggest [D] disappointment in [E] the world [A] was me
