Standard (EADGBE)

You'll raise the daughter and she'll raise the son

You'll live like two people that wish they were one

She may not be perfect but oh my friend neither are you

You feel like you're waiting for somebody

 to remind you of all the things that you're supposed to do

Careful what you reach for, one more step and you're falling through

Your family's a joke and your job is your life

 The time spent without them is time spent most every night

Get your house in order 'cause it's gonna be a bump ride.

You can't stop

You can't stop the killer

You can't stop

You can't stop the killer

I work my hands right down to the bone

 still you don't give me what I want

 You are so ungrateful, we're more like a house than a home

Please dear understand, I'm sorry again for all that I said

 How could you leave? I swear that I'll be a better man

Well, go ahead and run, run,

run from the man with the gun in his hand

Darling I would shoot you before I would ever

 let you leave

Oh, dear God

In a certain place I've kept my outs,

one for us both, two for my doubts,

I'm shaking, I'm hollow because

I know how to get this done

 so I will be the only to follow

to follow through with this

In a certain place I've kept my outs,

one for us both, two for my doubts,

I'm shaking, I'm hollow because

I know how to get this done

 so I will be the only to follow

 to follow through with this.

You kneel beside her at the foot of the grave

 Your daughter is crying

and you say she's in a better place

She was never perfect,

 oh, my friend, neither were you

that’s it
