Intro 

 B                    F# 
Mom, I know I let you down 
                E 
And though you say the days are happy 
            F# 
Why is the power off, and I'm fucked up? 
     B                     F# 
And mom, I know he's not around 
               E 
But don't you place the blame on me 
        F# 
As you pour yourself another drink 



E                     F#           B           F# 
I guess we are who we are 
E                                            F#          B          F# 
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on 
E                      F# 
Maybe we took this too far 


 B    F#    E    F#  

verse 1 

I went in headfirst 
Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what verse 
My mom probably got it the worst 
The brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are 
Did I take it too far? 
Cleaning out my closet and all them other songs 
But regardless I don't hate you cause ma! 
You're still beautiful to me, cause you're my mom 
Though far be it for you to be calling, my house was Vietnam 
Desert Storm and both of us put together can form an atomic bomb 
Equivalent to Chemical warfare 
And forever we can drag this on and on 
But, agree to disagree 
That gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me 
You're kicking me out? It's 15 degrees and it's Christmas Eve 
(little prick just leave) ma, let me grab my fucking coat 
Anything to have each other's goats, why we always at each others throats? 
Especially when dad, he fucked us both 
We're in the same fucking boat 
You'd think that it'd make us close (nope) 
Further away that drove us, but together headlights shine 
A car full of belongings 
Still got a ways to go, back 
To grandma's 
House it's straight up the road 
And I was the man of the house, the oldest 
So my shoulders carried the weight 
Of the load 
Then Nate got taken away by the state at 8 years old, and 
That's when I realized you were sick and it wasn't fixable or changable 
And to this day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but 



E                     F#           B           F# 
I guess we are who we are 
E                                            F#          B          F# 
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on 
E                      F# 
Maybe we took this too far 


verse 2 

Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though 
Cause you ain't even get to witness your grand baby's growth 
But I'm sorry mama for Cleaning Out My Closet, at the time I was angry 
Rightfully maybe so, never meant that far to take it though, cause 
Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not making jokes 
That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio 
And I think of Nathan being placed in a home 
And all the medicine you fed us 
And how I just wanted you to taste your own, but 
Now the medications taken over and your mental states deteriorating slow 
And I'm way too old to cry, that shit's painful though 
But ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan yo 
All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us both 
Foster care, that cross you bare, few may be as heavy as yours 
But I love you Debbie Mathers, oh what a tangled web we have, cause 
One thing I never asked was where the fuck my deadbeat dad was 
Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address 
But I'd have flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus 
Own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas 
Someone ever moved them from me? That you could bet your ass's 
If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them 
And although one has met their grandma 
Once you pulled up in our drive one nights 
As we were leaving to get some hamburgers 
Me, her and Nate, we introduced you, hugged you 
And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come over me 
B 
As we pulled off to go our separate paths, and 
             F# 
I saw your headlights as I looked back 
                                        E 
And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for being my Mom and my Dad 
                 F# 
So Mom, please accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet 
                  G 
I guess I had to get this off my chest 
                                              A 
I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead 
                                                               B 
The stewardess said to fasten my seatbelt, I guess we're crashing 
                                       F# 
So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you this message 
                                                       E 
That I'll always love you from afar, cause you're my mama... 


E                     F#           B           F# 
I guess we are who we are 
E                                            F#          B          F# 
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on 
E                      F# 
Maybe we took this too far 


verse 3 
              B 
I want a new life 
               G#m 
One without a cause 
                      E 
So I'm coming home tonight 
                         F#7 
Well no matter what the cost 
                       B 
And if the plane goes down 
                             G#m 
And if the crew can't wake me up 
                        E 
Just know that I was alright 
                         F#7 
And I was not afraid to die 
                         B 
Even if there's songs to sing 
                      G#m 
My children will carry me 
                     E 
Just know that I'm alright 
                    F#7 
I was not afraid to die 
                          B 
Because I put my faith in my new girl 
                   G 
So I never say goodbye cruel world 
                     E 
Just know that I'm alright 
                   F#7 
I am not afraid to die 



E                     F#           B           F# 
I guess we are who we are 
E                                            F#          B          F# 
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on 
E                      F# 
Maybe we took this too far
