Tom: B
B
[Verse 1]
B E
I thought that mom and dad were ‘sposed to last forever
G#m F#
Like they promised at the altar in Alabama
B E
They were young, in love, and didn’t know any better
G#m F#
Yeah they planned to started a family there together
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#
Things they changed when you walked away
G#m E
You left me wondering if you ever cared
E F#
I wish you stayed but I’ll be okay
G#m E
Cause I learned from you that life’s not always fair
[Chorus]
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
E
Of hearing you fight behind the door
B
Know you’ll never call back
E
I don’t even miss you anymore
G#m
Cause i’ve been doing fine
F#
Without you in my life
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
[Verse 2]
B E
Driving down the highway to the school yard
G#m F#
And you’d tell me stories ‘bout when you were young
E F#
You used to be my hero, then you put up your guard
G#m E
I used to be so proud to be your son
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#
Things they changed when you walked away
G#m E
It’s funny how the table’s gone and turned
E F#
From 4 to 3 - when we go out to eat
G#m E
And momma’s sitting by herself again
[Chorus]
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
E
Of hearing you fight behind the door
B
Know you’ll never call back
E
I don’t even miss you anymore
G#m
Cause i’ve been doing fine
F#
Without you in my life
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
[Bridge]
G#m F# E
Now I know
G#m F# E
How not to treat the loved ones I outgrow
G#m F# E
Take me home
G#m F# E
Before we got caught in the undertow
[Chorus]
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
E
Of hearing you fight behind the door
B
Know you’ll never call back
E
I don’t even miss you anymore
G#m
Cause i’ve been doing fine
F#
Without you in my life
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
B
I’ve been getting flashbacks
[Outro]
B E
Driving down the highway to the school yard
G#m F#
And you’d tell me stories ‘bout when you were young
E F#
You used to be my hero, then you put up your guard
G#m E
I used to be so proud to be your son
