Verse:
Em Cadd9 G
And back to these cold shitty days in Portland,
D/F# Em
Wishing I’d never come across your face,
Cadd9 G
Laying by the memories of things unspoken,
D/F# Em
Scared by thoughts of your father,
Cadd9 G
Made me look over the flaws of your nature.
D/F# Em
Laying on your back became your only escape.
Cadd9 G
You feel so old, used, but not yet broken,
D/F# C
Enough to think you have it all together.
Dadd4add9
I never planned to give you your burdens.
C Dadd4add9
But this child was a mistake.
Chorus:
G D/F# Am
I knew from the moment I stepped off that plane,
C
We had no future.
G D/F# Am
How come your dreams are always so bitter?
C
And who knows,
G D/F#
Maybe one day,
Am C Dadd4add9
She will know my name.
Verse 2:
Em Cadd9 G
You still return to the same skylines,
D/F# Em
That leave you broken.
Cadd9 G
Cheap talks with even cheaper company.
D/F# Em
Keeps the days turning into nights.
Cadd9 G D/F# Em
You lay awake crying cause your child,
Cadd9 G
Carries my name,
D/F# C
While I regret ever making you apart of my life.
Dadd4add9
Sadly enough,
C
This song’s not to hurt you,
Dadd4add9 G
Just to show the world that I’m free.
Chorus:
D/F# Am
I knew from the moment I stepped off that plane,
C G
We had no future.
D/F# Am
How come your dreams are always so bitter?.
C
And who knows,
G D/F# Am
Maybe one day,
C G D/F# Am
She will know my name.
C
She will know.
Dadd4add9 Em
She will know.
