[Intro]

C  F  G  F 
             

[Verse 1]

            C                          F 
I have this dream that I am hitting my dad with a baseball bat
          G                            F 
And he is screaming and crying for help
          C                      F 
And maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him
        G                     F 
Then it ever did protecting myself
      C                                       F 
And I believe that yeah, dad, maybe no one is perfect
      G                                  F 
But I believe that you were pushing your luck
        C 
It just sucks it played out like this
  F                         G                  F 
A terrible movie none of the actors even give a f**k


[Pre-chorus]

             Am                G 
But you look good tonight girlfriend,
                     F 
Can I sleep in your bed?
           Am               G 
And when I crawl out in the morning,
      C                F    G 
Can I stay inside your head?
 

[Chorus]

                F     G   Am 
'Cause you were high school
    C *                       F 
And I was just more like real life
             F    G         Am 
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend
    C                         F 
But I was just more like his wife
           F   G 
And it was okay
              Am 
I'll wear the makeup
            C                F 
I'll do whatever he wants all night
                F   G      Am 
'Cause you were okay   as a girlfriend
    C                       F 
But I was just more like his wife.


[Verse 2]

               C
A long, long time ago
                        F 
my great, great, great, great grandfather
       G                                    F
took something that did not belong to him
            C                     F
And that is why today I have an eagle in my veins
    G                     F
I am   part Native American
         C 
And I am leaving as soon as I come,
                          F 
As soon as I come you will probably forget my name
         G                                                F 
I hope I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car on the ride home


[Pre-chorus]

             Am                G 
But you look good tonight girlfriend,
                     F 
Can I sleep in your bed?
           Am                G 
And when I crawl out in the morning,
      C                F    G 
Can I stay inside your head?
 

[Chorus]

                F     G   Am 
'Cause you were high school
    C                         F 
And I was just more like real life
             F    G         Am 
And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend
    C                         F 
But I was just more like his wife
           F   G 
And it was okay
              Am
I'll wear the makeup
            C                  F 
I'll do whatever he wants all night
                F   G      Am 
'Cause you were okay   as a girlfriend
    C                          F 
But I was just more like real life.
               C 
More like real life!
