[Verse 1]
                G                                  Cmaj7
I thought that mom and dad were ‘sposed to last forever
            Em7                      D/F#
Like they promised at the altar in Alabama
           G                                   Cmaj7
They were young, in love, and didn’t know any better
           Em7                                D/F#
Yeah they planned to started a family there together
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7                       D/F#
Things they changed when you walked away
     Em7              D/F#       Cmaj7
You left me wondering if you ever cared
Cmaj7                   D/F#
I wish you stayed but I’ll be okay
        Em7                   D/F#         Cmaj7
Cause I learned from you that life’s not always fair
 
 
[Chorus]
G
I’ve been getting flashbacks
Cmaj7                           G
Of hearing you fight behind the door
G
Know you’ll never call back
Cmaj7                     Em7
I don’t even miss you anymore
 
Em7                   D/F#
Cause i’ve been doing fine
D/F#               G
Without you in my life
G
I’ve been getting flashbacks
Cmaj7
I’ve been getting flashbacks
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                                Cmaj7
Driving down the highway to the school yard
          Em7                                 D/F#
And you’d tell me stories ‘bout when you were young
    G                            Cmaj7
You used to be my hero, then you put up your guard
  Em7           D/F#             Cmaj7
I used to be so proud to be your son
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7                           D/F#
Things they changed when you walked away
     Em7          D/F#         Cmaj7
It’s funny how the table’s gone and turned
Cmaj7                D/F#
From 4 to 3 - when we go out to eat
   Em7              D/F#        Cmaj7
And momma’s sitting by herself again
 
 
[Chorus]
G
I’ve been getting flashbacks
Cmaj7                           G
Of hearing you fight behind the door
G
Know you’ll never call back
Cmaj7                     Em7
I don’t even miss you anymore
 
Em7                   D/F#
Cause i’ve been doing fine
D/F#               G
Without you in my life
G
I’ve been getting flashbacks
Cmaj7
I’ve been getting flashbacks
 
 
[Bridge]
Em7 D/F# Cmaj7
Now I know
    Em7              D/F#           Cmaj7
How not to treat the loved ones I outgrow
Em7 D/F# Cmaj7
Take me home
  Em7                D/F#      Cmaj7
Before we got caught in the undertow
 
 
[Chorus]
G
I’ve been getting flashbacks
Cmaj7                           G
Of hearing you fight behind the door
G
Know you’ll never call back
Cmaj7                     Em7
I don’t even miss you anymore
 
Em7                   D/F#
Cause i’ve been doing fine
D/F#               G
Without you in my life
G
I’ve been getting flashbacks
Cmaj7
I’ve been getting flashbacks
 
 
[Outro]
G                                Cmaj7
Driving down the highway to the school yard
          Em7                                 D/F#
And you’d tell me stories ‘bout when you were young
    G                             Cmaj7
You used to be my hero, then you put up your guard
  Em7                           Cmaj7
I used to be so proud to be your son
