Text Book

[Verse 1]
Dm                       C
I guess you could call it textbook
      Gm                              Dm
I was lookin' for the father I wanted back
Dm                           C
  And I thought I found it in Brentwood
          Gm                                    A7
It seemed only appropriate you'd easily have my back
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                        F
   And then there was the issue of her
              C                               Gm
I didn't even like myself, or love the life I had
                        Dm                                     F
And there you were with shining stars, standin' blue with open arms
                C                                            Dm
You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb                          F
  You've got a Thunderbird,   my daddy had one, too
C                        Dm
  Let's rewrite history,    I'll do this dance with you
Bb                            F
  You know I'm not that girl,   you know I'll never be
C                          Dm
  Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
Bb                                          F
  And there we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd by the Old Man
C                             Dm
River, and I saw you saw who I am
Bb                          F
  God, I wish I was with my father, he could see us in all our
C                                            Dm
splendor, all the things I couldn't want for him
               Bbmaj   Am7
I screamed for them,   oh-oh-oh
               C       Dm
I screamed for them,   ah-ah
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                 C
  Could we do this   dance again?
       Gm                                              Dm
Do you think if I go blonde, we could get our old love back?
Dm                       C
  I guess this is really   the end
     Gm                                                A7
I never felt jealous before this year, but I'm jealous now
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                  F
   People say we're too much alike
                    C                                                        Gm
But maybe, finally, that'll make it right, in the end of all these sleepless nights
           Dm                                      F
Other men I met felt right, would smile at you and stick a knife
        C                                             Gm
In your back, finally, I met you so I'm not wonderin' why
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb                          F
  You've got a Thunderbird,   my daddy had one, too
C                        Dm
  Let's rewrite history,    I'll do this dance with you
Bb                            F
  You know I'm not that girl,   you know I'll never be
C                          Dm
  Maybe just the way we're different could set me free
Bb                                          F
  And there we were, screamin' "Black Lives Matter" in the crowd by the Old Man
C                             Dm
River, and I saw you saw who I am
Bb                          F
  God, I wish I was with my father, he could see us in all our
C                                            Dm
splendor, all the things I couldn't want for him
               Bbmaj   Am7
I screamed for them,   oh-oh-oh
               C       Dm
I screamed for them,   ah-ah
 
 
[Outro]
Dm                  Bb
Old Man River keeps rollin'
F             C
  With or without him
Dm                    Bb
  Old Man River keeps rollin'
   F                       C
Without him, oh, my old man
Dm                    Bb F   C
Old Man River keeps rollin', oh
