 A# I'm standin' on an open world Dm I've gotta try so hard for myself F Not including the ones that I love D# I call my family It's not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl A brand new baby, she's a baby girl And yes, she is a cutie like her mommy She looks like her mommy We both know who we are And I'm not changing a thing I've never changed before If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak I'm wonderin' why I'm sittin' here, alone again Why you always crush me Why it's never easy Easy, easy, easy, it's not easy A# This is you, this is me You won't be a part of what we need to be Not for me, for the future of us three F For our daughter, college, family, sudden health emergencies D# You think it's easy, pickin' money off my Money Tree? With two houses, both cars I paid off your fucking credit card debt Did you already forget? Huh? You threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, threaten, huh Just fucking leave Find a man who will put up with this shit We both know who we are And I'm not changing a thing I've never changed before If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak I can't help but think Of how good you are with our baby daughter Half the time a single mother When I go away, it's so that you can always stay home And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way (You never take it that way) We both know who we are And I'm not changing - I need support, not a slap in the face You have to trust me, or I'm sure this will blow up in your face Our love was such an angel, she doesn't even know We've torn each other down in ways we don't even know We both know who we are And I'm not changing a thing I've never changed before If lovin' me is work, I'm not a job to take I think we're headin' for the crazy-making heartbreak I can't help but think Of how good you are with our baby daughter Half the time a single mother When I go away, it's so that you can always stay home And watch your baby grow, bring her up the right way It's me, the one who has his family's future at heart It's you, the one who never wants a family apart We both know that together we can only believe That if we cut the shit, there'd be no reason to leave You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Dm  D#  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
