  			Intro : C
C       Eb                    F
Mothers hands were lined with dirt 
                       C
From long days in the field 
             Eb                F
And mothers hands are serving meals 
                     C
In a cafe on Main Street
                Eb
With mouths to feed 
F                                    C
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs 
           Bb          F
And all I hear about is 
How it's so bad, it's so bad 
 

          Ab
It's too bad, it's stupid 
     Eb                  F
Too late, so wrong, so long 
                Ab                Eb
It's too bad we had no time to rewind 
                   F
Let's walk, let's talk   Let's talk 

C            Eb              F
You left without saying goodbye 
                         C
Although I'm sure you tried 
             Eb                   F
You call the house from time to time 
                     C
To make sure we're alive
         Eb           F
But you weren't there 
                              C
Right when I needed you the most 
            Bb          F
And now I dream about it 
How it's so bad, it's so bad 
          Ab
It's too bad, it's stupid 
     Eb                  F
Too late, so wrong, so long 
                Ab                Eb
It's too bad we had no time to rewind 
                   F
Let's walk, let's talk   Let's talk

C         Eb                    F
Father's hands are lined with guilt 
   
For tearing us apart 
C               Eb          F
Guess it turned out in the end 
                       C
Just look at where we are 
           Eb    F                          C
We made it out, still got clothing on our backs
             Bb         F
And now I scream about it 
How it's so bad, it's so bad 

          Ab
It's too bad, it's stupid 
     Eb                  F
Too late, so wrong, so long 
                     Ab                Eb
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind 
                   F
Let's walk, let's talk   Let's talk
       
C             Eb          F
No time, last one, let's go
