D 
Standing in the back of the delivery room 
              A                   G 
Watching the love of your life go under 
          D 
Your old man had plans and never visited you 
          A                          G 
Now you wonder how you’ll ever be a father 
            D 
When I was fifteen you were fifty-five 
           A                     G 
And I got tall and we never saw eye to eye 
                D 
Now that you’re older I got empathy 
              A                     G 
And you look like the man that I’m gonna be 


           G            D                A 
And did I grow up into someone that you like? 
            G                  D 
I know the people you learned from told you 
        A 
It was all in black and white 
                   G 
Things that were shaping you 
                      D 
Are things that are shaping me 
             A                       Bm 
And we both know you can’t run from family 
               G 
Would we have been friends if we were 
 D                A 
Born at the same time? 
N.C. 
Maybe in another life

D 
On your way home from the delivery room 
             A                      G 
Holding the love of your life in a bundle 
                D 
You were the invisible kid from a litter of six 
       A                     G 
Your dream was just to be a mother 
            D 
When I was fifteen you told me everything 
                  A                          G 
A whole bunch of heavy shit that I couldn’t process 
             D 
Now that I’m older I got empathy 
          G 
You were trying like hell to connect with me 


       G            D                A 
Did I grow up into someone that you like? 
            G                  D 
I know the people you learned from told you 
        A 
It was all black and white 
                   G 
Things that were shaping you 
                      D 
Are things that are shaping me 
             A                       Bm 
And we both know you can’t run from family 
               G 
Would we have been friends if we were 
 D                A 
Born at the same time? 
N.C. 
Maybe in another life 



D                        Dmaj7 
    We could go out some time 
                      D7 
Watch the game, get a burger and fries 
               G           G6 
Get high, I’d smoke you out 
D                       Dmaj7 
    Maybe in another life 
                   D7 
I could be some guy 
         D7sus4               G        G6  Gm6 
That you lean on when you’re having doubts 
Em                     Emadd9 
   Maybe in another life 


           G            D                A 
And did I grow up into someone that you like? 
            G                  D 
I know the people you learned from told you 
            A  A#dim7   Bm 
That it was   black and white 
              G 
Things were shaping you 
              D 
Now they’re shaping me 
     A 
And I’m so glad we’re family 
Asus4          G 
Would we have been friends if we were 
                  Gm6 
Born at the same time?
