[Intro] D A G/D 2x
[Verse]
D A G/D
Got up and left without a warning.
D A G/D
A pregnant woman, on Easter morning.
D A
You were never anything to miss.
G/D
Cause to me you did not exist.
D A G/D
But for that woman and that boy you left, I'm saying this,
D A G/D
But for that woman and that boy you left, I'm saying this.
[Chorus]
Em G
I'll wear the bright pink tie you wore that day
D A
I'll make the promises you failed to make
Em G
I'll be the man you'll never be
D A
And you won't be around to see
Bm G
The man my Mother made of me
D A
With love my Brother set me free
Em G
I'll be the man you'll never be
D A
And you'll have no part of this family
Interlude: D A G/D 2x
[Verse]
D A G/D
Your body's failing, heart is breaking
D A G/D
But you're too far gone now, you're not worth saving
Bm A G
You never put yourself aside, you just keep bringing seed to life
Bm A G
So I won't be at your bedside to watch you close your eyes and die
Bm A G/D
So I won't be at your bedside to hold your hand and say Goodbye
[Chorus]
Em G
I'll wear the bright pink tie you wore that day
D A
I'll make the promises you failed to make
Em G
I'll be the man you'll never be
D A
And you won't be around to see
Bm G/D
The man my Mother made of me
D A
With love my Brother set me free
Em G
I'll be the man you'll never be
D A
And you'll have no part...
[Bridge]
D A G
No But I'd make your proud
D A G
But No you're nowhere to be found
D A G
No Maybe you'll live it down
D A G
No The day that you skipped town.
[Interlude] D A G 2x
[Chorus]
Em G
I'll wear the bright pink tie you wore that day
D A
I'll make the promises you failed to make
Em G
I'll be the man you'll never be
D A
And you won't be around to see
Bm G
The man my Mother made of me
D A
With love my Brother set me free
Em G
I'll be the man you'll never be
D A
And you'll have no part of this family
