                   C 
If I could rewind time like a tape 
                              Em                                  Am 
Inside a boombox, one day for every pill or Percocet that I ate 

Cut down on the Valium, I'da heard everything 
                                         C 
But death is turning so definite?wait! 

They got me all hooked up to some machine 
   G 
I love you, being, didn't want you to know I was struggling 
Am 
Feels like I'm underwater submerged like a submarine 

Just heard that nurse say, my liver and kidneys aren't functioning 
      C 
Been flirtatious with death, skirt-chasing, I guess 
            Em 
It's arrivederci, same nurse, just heard say they're unplugging me 
               Am 
And it's your birthday, Jade, I'm missing your birthday 
                                                           C 
Baby girl, I'm sorry, I fucking hate when you hurt, Hai 

And sweeties, thank you for waiting to open gifts 
               G 
But, girls, you can just open 'em 
                                         Am 
Dad ain't making it home for Christmas 

Wish I had the strength to just blow a kiss 

I go to make a fist, but I can't make one, I'm frozen stiff 
        C 
I yell, but nothing comes out, I'm crying inside, I shout 
    Em                                                         Am 
My vocal cords won't permit me, I scream, but it's not aloud 

You put your arm around Mama to calm her, wow 
                                                                  C 
I just thought about the aisle, I'll never get to walk us down 

Never see you graduate in your caps and gowns 
     G                                            Am 
It's 'bout to be 2008, how's this happening now? 

I've got so much more to do 
                                                                         C 
And, Proof, I'm truly sorry if I let you down, but this tore me in two 

The thought of no more me and you 
             Em                                       Am 
You gave me shoes, Nikes like new for me for school 

Doody, I'm trying, but you, you were the glue that binded 
                                                      C 
So many things?time, I'd give anything to rewind it 
                                                         G 
I had to walk down my halls and constantly be reminded 
                                                                    Am 
By pictures all on my walls and I couldn't sleep at night 'cause 

That image burned in my brain of you on that table 
                                                              C 
Me falling across your body, not able to stand to save you 

God, why did you take him? 
                   Em 
I´m tryna keep his legacy alive, but I´m dying, where's Nathan? 
        Am 
Little ladies, be brave, take care of your mother 

Smile pretty for pictures, always cherish each other 
             C 
I'll always love ya, and I'll be in the back of your memory 
                     G 
And I know you'll never forget me 

Just don't get sad when remembering 
     Am 
And, little bro, keep making me proud 

You better marry that girl 'cause she's faithfully down 
                    C 
And when you're exchanging those sacred vows 
                                      Em 
Just know that if I could be there, I would 

And should you ever see parenthood, I know you'll be good at it 
Am 
Oh, almost forgot to do something, thank my father too 

I actually learned a lot from you 
                   C 
You taught me what not to do 

And, Mom, wish I'd have had the chance 
   G                                                            Am 
To have one last heart-to-heart honest and open talk with you 

Doody, I see you, I go to walk to you 
                                                                 C 
And I can feel my soul leave my body and float across the room 
                                                Em 
Nurses lean over the bed, pulling tubes out 
                                                   Am 
Then the sheet over my head, shut the room down 

Girls, please don't get upset 
                                                            C 
I see them cheeks soaking and wet, so forcibly, don't wanna let 
                                   G 
Me go, pillow drenched, emotional wrecks 
                                          Am 
With every second, each closer to death 

But suddenly I feel my heart begin to beat slow 

Then a breath, machines go (*beep beep beep*) 
                     C 
Must've guessed the cheat codes to this shit 
                     Em 
I'm tryna rewind time like a tape 
                                   Am 
Find an escape, make a beeline, try and awake 

From this dream, I need to re-find my inner strength 
                                    C 
To remind me, even if a steep climb I must take 

To rewrite a mistake, I'm rewinding the tape
