Verse 1
C
Am
a guitar for his birthday
B
Bm
It kinda pissed me off be
B
F#
cause he's seventeen
Eb
C
He doesn't even have a computer yet
Am
B
And his dad works for Ebay
Bdim
F#
Eb
I said that, and she was like,
C
Am
well, whose birthday is it?
Yours or his?
Bm
Am
F#
Eb
I said, whose wallet is it?
Yours or mine?
C
Am
But she gave me that look, so I resigned
E
F#
Never argue with a smiling teen
Bbm
Am
It's like seeing an eclipse or something
Dm
You just stare and take pictures
Bdim
Bm
G#m
Thank your lucky stars
Am
you were there to bear witness
F#
Eb
Am
At first it was nice to see
C
Am
him practice it
Actually using the gimbal
F#
He'd bring it to the table
Eb
Am
Choke down the bare minimum
Then sit and play a bit
F#
C
But I got kinda tired of hearing him play
Am
Those same three funk and blues riffs
And when he got himself an amp
Eb
Am
There was nowhere in the house
to get away from it
When I came back upstairs one night
After forcing him to turn it off
and go to bed
Em
F#
Sarah leaned up on one
Bbdim
elbow and asked
Am
Why I didn't get the keyboard down instead
Dm
Bm
G#dim
I laughed too quick and told her I
G#m
wasn't about to encourage
this assault on her senses
G#dim
G
But the truth is I couldn't
Bm
G#dim
play a song
G#m
if my penchant depended on it
Am
Bb
Bbm
F
In the attic, in the corner,
Am
C
under sheets
Bb
Am
I found my keyboard
C
Am
E
Put my fingers on the right keys
Dm
G
Eb
Dm
but couldn't find a single chord
Am
C
And if my hands can forget
Eb
F
Am
C
all the songs that they wrote
Am
And the parts that they played
C
Am
and the albums they made
E
Em
Am
Who's to say that they
Dm
C
Am
everything one day?
C
Eb
F
Am
Can't cook, can't code,
E
Am
can't feel my job
E
G
My skills, demands, my hands,
Am
Eb
Dm
C

all gone, paycheck, all gone

It was quarter to eleven,

G#dim
we were already in bed

on a Monday night
G#m
Eb
G#
G#dim
I must've heard him play cashmere
Bdim
G
fifty times
G#m
G#dim
G#m
but never once got it right
G#
G#m
Bdim
Maybe I came into his room
G
Am
G#dim
cause I was looking for a fight
G#m
Or cause I couldn't
G#dim
bear to sit by
G#
G#dim
Bdim
while he wasted away
G
C
Am
G#m
the education paid
for with my own life
G#
G#dim
Bdim
G
He stopped calling me dad,
G#dim
started call ing me Gavin
G#m
Bdim
I asked him to please
G#dim
for one damn minute
Bdim
G#dim
I don't know if the nood
Bdim
G
G#dim
ling was a conscious thing
Bdim
or if his fingers just did it
G#dim
But he wouldn't get the message
Bdim
G
G#dim
till I yanked it away from him
and put my foot in it
Bdim
F#
Bbdim

Finally, for once ever,
Chris looked scared,
Ebm
Eb
F#
he bolted out the door and downstairs
A#dim
F#
Sarah came up to see
what all the fuss was about
Bbm
Bdim
When she saw the guitar
G
G#dim
she started freaking out
Bdim
Telling me how I'm taking my own life
out on my kids
She was calm when she said,
G#dim
Ddim
Bdim
you won't be happy until nobody is

My job, my skills, demand, my hands

All gone, paycheck, all gone
