I want to make you proud,

but I really don?t know how.

Though something made me stop and think of what you said.
                   C maj11
You know it meant a lot,

but I was just a kid,
                  C maj11
one with all these dreams of growing up and playing music on the road.
           C maj11
I?ve been screaming all these years and thinking of your bones.
