Chords: Fret, A, E, G, D, A7, C, B, F#
More chords by Matt Nathanson
Genre: rock, pop, folk
The last D of each verse is played like an open C chord, but moved up to the
3rd fret relative to the capo
On the Chorus - it is a walk down of the bass note on the Low E and A strings
I put the notes as if they were open position, but play relative to capo
(2nd Fret A to 3rd Fret A 3rd Fret E to 2nd fret and then back up to 3rd to
2nd and then end on 3rd fret of A)
[Verse]
G D
Katie got divorced moved back in with her mom
A7 C
Needed a fresh start died her hair blonde
G D
She’s telling me this in the parking lot of the Burlington mall
A7 C
We are older now, she’s still beautiful
D G
I’m back for the funeral
[Verse]
G D
Your hometown just the first place you don’t understand
A7 C
And family is just strangers you know like the back of your hand
G D
The higher you think you’re above it the harder you fall
A7 C
It’s a penthouse view, of a brick wall
D G
I’m back for the funeral
[Chorus]
B C G F# G F# C
You can build yourself a rocket you can ride it to the moon
B C G F# G F# C
Still wake up some morning in your old bedroom
B C G F# G F# C
And it’s not gonna kill you, but it feels like it will
B C G F# G F# C
When your sh*thead friend takes a month’s worth of pills
G
I’m back for the funeral
[Verse]
G D
After the service we’ll all meet up at the bar
A7 C
Where my dad used to drink, now he just drinks in the yard
G D
And we’ll laugh about all the young dumb dreams we had
A7 C
And we’ll pretend we’re all only sad
D G
Cause we’re back for the funeral
[Chorus]
B C G F# G F# C
And I’ll call you in the morning just to make sure you’re alright
B C G F# G F# C
Cause I don’t remember getting home, but I woke up I’m fine
B C G F# G F# C
And I was hoping I would see you and how F’d up is that
