[Verse 1]
         C                                                Am
I saw my momma cry for the first time in a while since my father died
                                        C/G
and I know that she thinks the world is full of lies
                                F
and I believe it, honestly, I'm terrified.
         C                                                    Am
I saw my brother fall to a life that was a hell and fueled by alcohol
                                    C/G
and he still got a kid that I ain't seen at all
                                F
and I don't think he would even want to call, hey
         C                                                    Am
I saw my sister grow, bought a house had a daughter, now they call it home
                                     C/G
and I know that she'd never leave my mom alone
                              F
and I know that it's okay for me to go.

[Chorus]
         C                       Am
Before I go, take me in, wash me clean from all my sins,
        C/G                             F***
hold my hand through the flame, I'll be yours and I'll bе safe.
C Am C/G F
Woah,
                          C Am C/G F***
before I go, before I go. Woah.

[Verse 2]
       C                         Am
I'm so proud of you, you let him go and found another one
        C/G                            F
to take care of you and when times get hard, I know he'll never fail
      C                             Am
to be there for you. Let alone take care of you (Woah) and
       C/G                               F
I will always be your son, no matter the distance, no matter the months.
C Am C/G F
Woah.
             C                                                Am
Let's not forget about Ashley, how she's always mad at me but I know that
                               C/G                                 F
she'd always look after me and I know that she'd always look after you.

[Outro]
C Am C/G F                                          N.C.
           Ooh, before I go, I wanted to say that I love you.
