Go On

             C                    Em
Well did you do something for yourself, mom,
    F                       G
and get the hell out of the house.
          C                     Em
Would you do something for your son, mom,
    F                     G
and stop taking all these pills.
          Am
Cause its cold in December
            G
and there's reason to stay in
    F               G
and I wanna see you win.
              Am
You're on the deck of that ship.
             G
Yeah, you're sailing away.
    F                       G
The sun looks right on your face.

          C                    Em
Without a reason to believe in something,
      F          G
could do most anything.
     C                Em
Well that you told me someplace,
    F                G
but I can't remember when.


         Am
It was a long time ago,
          G
maybe the first day of school,
F              G
going to visit dad.
      Am
I was scared, but you told me
        G
I could bolt if I wanted.
      F                G
I was only nine, but I went.


   Dm        G         C  /B    Bb
So go on and make your families proud.
              F
Just like you always do.
               Ab
Just like they want you to.


       C                     Em
My old girlfriend's studying medicine.
          F                     G
Would you save my life if I got sick?
        C
Haven't seen you in a while.
    Em
How have you been.
   F                             G
Of course, if you have the right insurance, friend.
      C                    Em
And I think if we got back together again,
          F
you know, give it a run.
          G
You know, you were my first love.
       C                       Em
You're very drunk, and we were very young.
    F                           G
I'm goin to see this guy and it might be love.
        Am       G            F
Yeah, I think he might be the one.
           Am      G      F
If you get married, can I come?
        G
I gotta see this!


     Dm        G        C    /B       Bb
Well go on and dig your holes in this ground.
      Dm        G        C     /B     Bb
Yeah, go on and lay your tired bodies down.
                 F
Just like you're going to.
              Ab
Just like the expect you to.


(break)

              Dm          G      Am
And I've been thinking of moving away.
                   F
And now that we've had this talk,
  G          C
I definitely may.


          Dm        G          C
Well, now go on and break your word
         /B        Bb
and it'll break me down.
         Dm             G
And I'll go on and I'll break
C         /B             Bb
every last thing in this house.
              F
Just like I'm going to.
              Ab
Just like you expect me to.


    Dm        G         C  /B  Bb
Now go on and make your family proud.
    Dm        G          C     /B      Bb
Now go on and stake your claim in this ground.
    Dm        G         C    /B    Bb
Now go on and take that last drink down.
              F
And then I'll get you through
              Ab     Bb    C
What did they put    you   through!
