Em C D G Last night I woke alone with a whisper in my ear Em C D G Recanting all my aspirations and my fears Em C D G And when the sun came up that voice had disappeared Em C B7 But it would linger on for years C B7 Em It said "We can't just blame it on our mothers C B7 Em Claim everything they did was always wrong" C B7 G Em And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track C B7 Em D And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash C B7 G Em And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long C B7 Em And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash Em C D G So mercy, mercy, mercy me Em C D G Praying for the death of a man I'll never meet Em C D G Though everyone will know the truth they'll still just make believe Em C B7 Mercy mercy me Em C D G That's all they came for, that's all they took Em C D G That's all we had to offer, only dirty looks Em C D G And when they realized we'd given all we could, Em C B7 that's when they finally understood C B7 Em That We can't just blame it on our mothers C B7 Em Claim everything they did was always wrong C B7 G Em And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track C B7 Em D And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash C B7 G Em And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long C B7 Em And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash Em C D G Mercy mercy mercy me Em C D G Haunted by the memories of things we'll never see Em C D G Guilty for the statements that we'll never get to speak Em C B7 Mercy mercy me C B7 Em We can't just blame it on our mothers C B7 Em Claim everything they did was always wrong C B7 G Em And there ain't not turning back when our train is off its track C B7 Em D And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash C B7 G Em And there ain't no right and wrong when we know it won't be long C B7 Em And there's nothing we can do but watch it crash Am C B7 Watch it crash. And there's nothing we can do but watch it... Crash
