[Verse 1]
G#
It was raining when you came in
C#
You said, "Sorry, I'm all wet"
G#
I said, "You don't have to be sorry
D#
I'll help you take care of that"
G#
You lay it all out on the table
C#
I said there's no need to make a mess
G#
We try to study, don't get a lot done
D#
All busy worried about that test
[Chorus]
C#
College hall's no place for a study date
D#
You couldn't look yourself straight through the mirror
C#
Wasn't my fault to egg you on, I couldn't wait
D#
I shoulda known you couldn't hold your own liquor
C#
It's a surefire, but your daddy wouldn't pay
D#
He finds out, I'm going down undercover
C#
You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake
D#
But that's a lotta bad karma
G# B* C# x4
Oh, I wouldn't make a bad father
[Verse 2]
G#
Now you're saying you're gonna leave me
C#
It took a long time to get you thеre
G#
You're still a hot mess in your whitе dress
D#
I'm busy trying not to stare
G#
Oh, and freedom, oh, freedom
C#
Like a heartbeat, could drive you mad
G#
The thunder outside drowning out my visions
D#
Of what we lost and what we had
[Chorus]
C#
College hall's such a cold place to be awake
D#
You couldn't look yourself straight through the mirror
C#
Wasn't my fault to egg you on, I couldn't wait
D#
I shoulda known you couldn't hold your own liquor
C#
It's a surefire, but your daddy wouldn't pay
D#
He finds out, I'm going down undercover
C#
You know the truth is loving you was not a mistake
D#
But that's a lotta bad karma
G# B* C# x4
Oh, I wouldn't make a bad father (Yeah)
[Bridge]
D# Fm C#
I'm afraid that I'm to blame if you give up, Cassie
D# Fm
If I ever make it out of my head
C#
You can have me
D# Fm
Maybe I could stick around
C#
Yeah, I could shape up, settle down (Shape up, settle down)
D# Fm
But tonight, I'm freaking out
Am*
'Cause you won't call
[Outro]
C#
Cold shoulder, pulled over on the interstate
D#
Double take, saw a little face in the mirror
C#
Knew we couldn't tell your mother when I saw your plates
D#
Heated seats, but you couldn't speak through the shivers
C#
You zip your jacket, try to hide your red letter C#
D#
Half-mast, scatter ashes in the water
C#
You know the truth is you could cut this any other way
D#
It's just a lotta bad karma (Hey)
G# B* C# until the end
G#
I wouldn't make a bad father
D#
But you won't call, no
C#
But you won't
You won't
You won't call
