verse 1 
C 
          C                   Cmaj9 
All of us here under the same roof again 
                    F7M 
I'm sitting in your favorite chair 
                 G 
Playing with the fraying threads 
                C 
I'm sleeping in Catherine's room 
     Cmaj9 
In a twin sized bed 
                     F7M                      G 
She shares mine with Colin 'cause it's got more space for him 
                   Am                           G 
And Pop, she ain't in no shape, to take care of anything 

verse 2 
                     F7M                              G 
So I'll bring him to school, and tell him that it's okay 
         C             G 
I try to look half-put-together 
       F 
So the teachers know he's safe 
                   F7M                       G 
And I'm raking the leaves, I'm unclogging the drain 
                 C               Cmaj9          C 
I'm trying to be someone you can count on for a change 

Cmaj9 F7M G 

verse 3 
           C                          Cmaj9 
Out in the garage, to the tune of the evening news 
                  F7M                    G 
Mom needs her oil changed, it's six months overdue 
                  C                            Cmaj9 
And I spent those freezing nights, shaking out here with you 
            F7M                                G 
Holding the flashlight still, guess I learned a thing or two 
                Am                            G 
And Colin seems interested, so I act like I'm good at this 

                  F7M               G 
So I pull out the plug and letting it drain 
          C              Cmaj9         F7M 
Trying to find the right filter to replace 
                  F7M                G 
And I'm doing the wash and touching up paint 
             C               Cmaj9          C 
I'm tryna be someone you can count on for a change 

Cmaj9 F7M G C Cmaj9  F7M G 

verse 4 
       Am                         G 
In the years since we spread your ashes 
C                   Cmaj9            F7M 
Sammy got traded to L.A. and then to Kansas 
       Am                     G 
In the years since everything happened 
C                     Cmaj9         F7M         C 
I've been out looking for where the light went 
             G7                  F 
I think I've found out where the light is 

Verse 5 
                   F7M                   G 
So I'm packing his lunch then I'm going to bed 
C               Cmaj9            F7M 
I don't want to see how dark the night gets 
                  F7M 
And I'm shoveling snow 
                   G 
And I'm fixing the gate 
                C               Cmaj9          C 
I'm going to be someone you can count on for a change
