INTRO G / D / Em / D / C x2
VERSE
G
You dreamed he'd shine like the sun
Now you son is set
D
Hey dad, grab another cigarette
Em D
Ashes fall like an unpaid debt
C
Come on everybody place your bets
G
In seventh grade he dug his grave
D
Trying to be cool with the cool kids hey
Em D
Follow everything they say
C
You might fit in if you misbehave
G
At sixteen he promised he'd be clean
D
You didn't bend, but you sure did lean
Em D C
You do not deserve this
CHORUS
G
Hey Mr. Wilmington
D
Yeah, I heard about your son
Em D
It's hard enough to hide your scars
C
In smalltown USA
G
Sweet Mr. Wilmington
D
Yeah I read about your son
Em D
Don't blame yourself, you raised him right
C
Remember that when you can't sleep at night
VERSE 2 (same as verse 1)
At twenty-one you found his gun
Hey dad, it's just begun
The ties that bind, they come undone
Come on everybody, just for fun
At twenty-four you found him on the floor
Decadence was all he wore
You do not deserve this
CHORUS
D Em C x4
Na na na na na
VERSE 3
At the funeral, read his eulogy
Insincere apologies
You do not deserve this
All the papers and press decide
Hey, just another suicide
You do not deserve this
CHORUS
