A# Gm You hung up the phone F D# And I asked you what was wrong Gm F Your dad has come to town D# He'd like to meet A# D# I said, "You don't have to see him" Gm D# But for whatever reason you can't tell him no So we meet him at a bar You were holding my hand hard He ordered rum and Coke I can't drink either anymore He hadn't seen you since the fifth grade Now you're nineteen and you're 5'8" He said, "Honey, you sure look great Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?" Chorus: Cm I would kill him F If you let me Cm I would kill him F Quick and easy Cm A# Your nails are digging F Into my knee Gm I don't know F D# How you keep smiling I love your eyes And he has 'em Or you have his 'Cause he was first I imagine my thumbs on the irises Pressing in until they burst I clear my throat And say we ought to get home He offers us a ride I reply, "No, that's alright" And when we leave You feel him watching So we walk a mile in the wrong direction Chorus Gm I don't know F D# how you keep smiling Gm I don't know F D# how you keep smiling F D# I wanna take your face between my hands and say A# Gm F D# "You two are connected by a pure coincidence A# Gm F D# Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative A# Gm F D# You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid A# Gm F D# But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did A# Gm F D# You don't owe him shit even if he said you did" | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
