Same chord progression through the whole song: in this order The picking rhythm is very upbeat, it sounds way better tuned down a half step but standard is fine too. When your dad left your mom you moved into the condo stayed there while he was gone We stayed up late watching cable And we swam in the pool We ate all his food Yeah we had so much fun When your dad left your mom When your dad left your mom She had to sell the house We stayed up all night long helping her move everything out In your empty bedroom upstairs You kissed me like you didn't care Hey what else could possibly go wrong? When your dad left your mom When your dad left your mom Your little brother stayed with us We helped him get his homework done We got him up and ready for the bus It was just for a few days While your mom moved into the new place And did what had to get done When your dad left your mom When your dad left your mom You'd get so quiet sometimes You'd say that nothing was wrong Like I couldn't see it in your eyes But every once in a while I could still get you to smile And I wrote you this stupid song When your dad left your mom
