[Verse]
     C
Cop got me doing
        F
 88 on Main
                         C     F
He let me off with a warning
 C                     F
And I was hungover as hell
              C
Most of them third-pew
         C         F
Sunday mornings
C
I had a Playboy stashed
                 F
In a Johnny Cash LP
               C
sleeve in my room
              Am
That's just a few
 F                   C   F

[Verse]
C                         F
I kept a well-hid can of Skoal
                      C     F
In the console of my Chevy
       C
Got a real good education
           F
 skipping school
        C                    F
In the backseat on that levy

    C
If you'd caught wind
 of half my sins
 F
You'da whipped my ass
              C
 through and through
                  F
Back then if you knew
                     C   F
Things I never told you

[Chorus]
   F           G
I wouldn't be half
           Am   F
the man I am
                          C
If you hadn't loved this boy

F           G            Am   F
I've never said it until now
                         G
But I always heard your voice

         C
Cuttin' through that
loud rock 'n' roll
 F
Every fork in the road

Underneath the dirt

I've never shown you

Thank you's at the

 C
When I moved away from home, I
 F
Didn't realize how much
      C       F
 I'd miss ya
C
A phone call don't
take the place

Of your smilin' face

Cooking in that kitchen

You're the reason

 F
And my demons finally

 called a truce
