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 fuck
 
 
[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!
