Swing

[Verso 1]
 
C5 
Dear Dad, Heard you're doing well 
         E5/B 
You're back on your feet, staying at some hotel 
     A5 
I hope one day when you're better again 
           Fmaj7 
We'll have dinner 
               Fmmaj7 
Stay together, till the end 
C5 
Hey Dad, Do you remember those swings 
    E5/B 
Out back in our yard - The ones you built for me 
        A5 
You and Mom? We always had the best time 
        Fmaj7 
We were happy 
           Fmmaj7 
Life was just sublime

N.C. 
But now the only swinging I've done 
N.C.                                         {Dmin7} 
Is deciding what to do with my life, I'm overcome 
            D7                 Gsus2/D 
Back and forth, no way to move on 
     G7 
Just sitting on this swing

C                                              {Emin/B} 
Holding on to the past, yeah, I'm only looking back 
                                                      {Amin} 
Can't forget, no, but it might give me a heart attack 
                                      {Gmin7} 
Every day I swear that I'll push ahead 
                       C7             Fmaj7 
But then I start to think you want me dead 
            Fmaj7 
If we could take it all back we would 
        Fmmaj7 
Because nothing's as it should

C5                                 E5/B 
Dear Mom, Every day I miss you more 
                               A5 
So why am I still feeling this torn 
                                   Fmaj7 
Every breath is another one you've missed 
                     Fmmaj7 
Wish we could've had dinner 
                          C5 
Stayed together, till the end 
                                  E5/B 
Hey Mom, Why can't I forget the swings 
                                    {Amin} 
You and Dad, Whose happiness never left 
                                           Fmaj7 
Until our family was together for the last time 
                            Fmmaj7 
Now you're gone.. Life just can't be sublime

And now the only swinging I've done 
N.C.                                     {Dmin7} 
Is deciding what to do with my life, I'm overcome 
            D7                 Gsus2/D 
Back and forth, no way to move on

                                                      {Amin}

        {Amin} 
There's bottles smashing 
{Emin} 
Lights are flashing 
      F 
Their minds are clashing 
          {Fmin} 
How did we get here 
      {Amin} 
Their eyes are locked 
      {Emin} 
He can't be stopped 
     F 
Please stop the clock 
       {Fmin}         C 
Can we turn it back 
 


[Verso 3]
 
N.C. 
Because I miss my swings 
N.C. 
I miss the swings he made for me 
N.C. 
I miss the way she smiled and he smiled back 
N.C. 
I miss having the family I lack 
 

Outro 
      C5 
But I guess I'm just holding on to the past 
       E5/B 
Trying desperately to make it last 
      A5 
But I don't think I can this time 
    F                    {Fmin} 
And I don't think this life is sublime
