Tom: Bm
D A Bm G
I’m not lying, but I might be wrong The old man had all he could want
D A F#7 Bm A G
Asleep in his chair cigar almost gone In the other room
D A Bm G
Holy shit, those holy shirts Perfect fit as the holes all got worse
D A F#7 Bm A G
He burned through the cotton like he burned through vermouth, in the other room
[Interlude]
D A F#7 Bm A G D A Bm G
[Verse 2]
D A Bm G
I’m not lying but I might be wrong Even His dog was addicted to smoke
D A F#7 Bm A G
Somehow they both got a smokers cough in the other room
D A Bm G
Lost some teeth but kept their bite In times of peace they’d always pick fights
D A F#7 Bm A G
When company came they’d both go and hide in the other room
Bm F#7 D E
If he left his cave it better be worth it If he said come in then you certainly earned it
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em G A7 D
There’s nothing I’d rather do than to just be with him in the other room
[Interlude]
D A F#7 Bm A G D A Bm G
[Verse 3]
D A Bm G
The tennis balls they used to play catch went on his walk or so the floors wouldn’t scratch
D A F#7 Bm A G
If you listen close you could hear his feet track in the other room
D A Bm G
Not quite drunk on Philadelphia rye only wanted a hug from his wife
D A F#7 Bm A G
So he calls her name and he can’t remember why in the other room
Bm F#7 D E
But she’d still be there and it was all worth it a kiss on the face and together they’re perfect
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em G A7 D
There’s nothing I’d rather do then to just be with them in the other room
[Verse 4]
D A Bm G
I’m not lying but I might be wrong The mutt started wheezing a little too much
D A F#7 Bm A G
The vet told my grandma his time's almost up in the other room
D A Bm G
Grandpa asked where’s the dog is it asleep or just out for a walk
D A F#7 Bm A G
She don’t want to tell him it’s already gone but he’ll see her soon in the other room
Bm F#7 D E
Cuz when he left his cave it all was worth it Heaven said come in you’ve certainly earned it
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em G A7 D
There’s nothing I’d rather do than to just be with him in the other room
