I'm not afraid of you now, I know

So I climb down from the bunk beds this slow,

I can talk back to you now, I know

From a few things I learned from this TV show,

You can work late till midnight, we don't care

We can fix our own meals, we can wash our own hair,

I go to school before sunrise, in the cold

And I pulled the alarm, and I kicked up the salad bowls.

Then play these chords:

C G C G

Since that time we meant to say much more

Unsaid things begin to take their toll,

After school we shovel through the snow

Drive upstate in silence in the cold,

Cadd9 Em D/F# Cadd9

You can remind me of it

Em D/F# Cadd9

That I was lazy and tired,

Em D/f# Cadd9

You can work all your life as

Em D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# Cadd9 G D/F#

I'm not afraid of you anymore

Back to verse:

If I loved you oh a long time, I don't know

If I can't recall the last time you told me so,

Here in this house in Pittsfield

The ghost of our grandmother works at the sewing machine post,

Hiding the bills in the kitchen, on the floor

And my sister lost her best friend in the Persian Gulf War,

There was a flood in the bathroom last May

And you kicked at the pipes when it rattled oh the river it made.

C G C G C

Stand there, tell me that I'm of no use

Things unspoken break us if we share

There's still time to wash the kitchen floor

On your knees, the bath, the sink once more.

You can remind me, that I was tired

You can work late, and give yourself honor.

Now that I'm older, wiser and working less

I don't regret, having left the place a mess

Cadd9 Em D/F# Cadd9

You can remind me,

Em D/F# Cadd9

that I was lazy and tired

Em D/F# Cadd9

You can recall your life as

Em D/F# C G C G

I'm not afraid of you, anymore

C G C G C G C G C G C G D/F#
