[Verse 1]
     Fm                              Ab             Db C
It’s time I should be leaving, it’s time for me to go
  Fm                               Db                Eb
A painting on my ceiling and your footprints in the snow
     Fm                                       Ab                Db  C
They found you Christmas morning beneath the tree in the front yard
    Fm
The sound, the screams, the mourning
      Db            Eb
As we send sympathy cards

[Chorus]
Ab
Hydrocodone acid-washed brain
           Eb
A shame, a total loss
     Db
They said that they did all they could
                           Db   Eb
That boy's been dead since childhood
      Ab
Leave me alone to analyze
               Eb      
The sour power of surprise
  Db
A ticker out of time and whack
                    Eb     E
Too young to die of heart attacks

  Fm                               Db                Eb
To keep your dad from throwing up at least three times a day

    Fm                                     Db              Eb
The pounding of your mother's fists while freezing in the car
