 Em               G
Sweet and somber pigeon wings
         D
Can't we all recall when mama and papa
Am
Were the sweet toothed christmas ball

A picturesque holiday family
Of course I was small and all I knew was my Grandpa
But I really didn't know him at all, I say

My blood, my cousins, my cavalry
Yeah, a piece of them gone, but still
I feel them strong
When I reach for David 'cause our Grandpa's gone

I shout out, I got love for the family
My Mother's a doll and my Father can stop any brawl
Pucker up, I'd like to kiss you all, I say

   Em G D Am Em G
i said

               C
But open your eyes, a new song cause
the family is wrong
          Em
So don't lecture me, don't lecture me
              C
but as far as i can see
a step mom yeah the widow's palm is
         Em
what's crushing me
          D
and this family

                C                         Em G D Am
it's beyond my time, yeah it's beyond my time
