[Intro]  C7M  G/B  Am  C7M  G/B  Am

C          G/B             Am
I fear I'm dying from complications 
      C              G/B                    Am
Complications due to things that I've left undone 
            C                    G/B 
That all my debts will be left unpaid 
            Am
Feel like a cripple without a cane 
           C              G/B
I'm like a jack of all trades 
                  Am
Who's a master of none 

( C7M  G/B  Am  C7M  G/B  Am )
                 C
Then there's my father 
G/B                          Am
He's always looking on the bright side 
       C            G/B                       Am
Saying things like "son life just ain't that hard" 
          C          G/B
He is the grand optimist 
         Am
I am the world's poor pessimist 
             C                
You give him buttons sometimes 
    G/B              Am
And he will escape unscarred 
Em7/G                         Am
      I guess I take after my mother 

( C7M  G/B  Am  C7M  G/B  Am )
   
C          G/B          Am
  I used to be quite resilient 
          C                         G/B           Am
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
         C                  G/B  
Now the wound has begun to turn
         Am 
Another lesson that has gone unlearned 
             C             G/B               Am
But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy
 
Em7/G                          Am
      I guess I take after my mother
