Intro
D


Verse 1
D
I was six years old
                                        Asus4
Running from the sound in my nightgown, screaming through the walls
                              Bm
He was angry, she was trying, I could hear it all
      G
TV up loud as it could go
      D
Just another night at home
                                              Asus4
You were raising hell, can't forget the smell soaked into your clothes
                                  Bm
100 proof that burnt through that cigarette smoke
       G
Always knew before you spoke
G
How the night was gonna go


Pre-Chorus
           A              Bm                 G
Now you're diving, saying you're a different man
G
But who you were, it made me who I am


Chorus
G
I still remember you
D
Blacked out, face down, asleep in your car
        Asus4
And the violence, the sirens that rang in the dark
        Bm                                                        G
And the last straw, the worst of all, the breaking of my mother's heart
                              D
And now since December you've shown up, say I've grown up, you just want to see us
    Asus4
You woke up sober, said you found Jesus
    Bm                                                  G
You don't understand why I still hate the man that came back
                         D
But you can talk to God about that


Verse 2
D
It was nine years ago
                                         A
It was broken glass, it was getting bad, didn't wanna go
                                                Bm
But she couldn't stay just to see the day she'd find you on the floor
             G
She couldn't do it anymore


Pre-Chorus
        A                  Bm          G
And you swear you'll never be that man again
    A                Bm          G
But who you were, it made me who I am


Chorus
G
And I still remember you
D
Blacked out, face down, asleep in your car
        Asus4
And the violence, the sirens that rang in the dark
        Bm                                                        G
And the last straw, the worst of all, the breaking of my mother's heart
                              D
And now since December you've shown up, say I've grown up, you just want to see us
    Asus4
You woke up sober, said you found Jesus
    Bm                                              G
You don't understand why I still hate the man that came back
                         D
But you can talk to God about that
                     Asus4
You can talk to God about that
                     Bm
You can talk to God about that


Outro
      G
Yeah, you can talk, you can talk, you can talk to God about
    D
The mother, the brother, the family you broke
        Asus4
And the daughter who grew up trusting no one
        Bm                                                  G
And the bruises on her skin, the holes that you left in the walls
                     D
You can talk to God about it all
 A   Bm
Oh, oh (You can talk to God about that)
     G
Oh, oh (You can talk to God about that, you can talk to God)
                     D
You can talk to God about it all
