Intro: Cadd9 Cadd9

Verse 1:
 Cadd9
Daddy's on the porch
 Cadd9
First pack's in the ashtray
G
 It's fifteen past
  G
Class started right at 8
Cadd9                      Em7       D6
 And Ms. Johnson knows why I'm not there
Cadd9
 All that's in the fridge is Wonder Bread and mayonnaise
G
 Wonder if you know Saturday's my birthday
Cadd9                Em7      D6
 Even if he did, he wouldn't care

Chorus:
G        D
 Wasn't Coke in his Sonic cup
Em7
 Never knew him never drunk
G            D                  Cadd9
 It's kinda sad when your hero's face down in his Cheerios

Verse 2:
Cadd9                                Em7
I know which footsteps mean I gotta lock the door
   D6                                                  G
Screamin' that he's sorry like it's somethin' I ain't heard before
Cadd9                   Em7        D6
 I know when to put a shot in his coffee, I should've been a kid, but he robbed me

Chorus:
G        D
 Wasn't Coke in his Sonic cup
Em7
 Never knew him never drunk
G            D                  Cadd9
 It's kinda sad when your hero's face down in his Cheerios
G         D
 Had to grow up way too fast
Em7
 Take the school bus from hell and back
G            D             Cadd9
 I wanna be mad, but then he goes face down in his Cheerios

Bridge:
         Cadd9
And for sixteen years, he'd pass out on the couch
        D6
So I'd put him to bed and I picked up the house
       Cadd9
And I wish I could say that he's clean and he's changed
       D6
But I washed my hands and his still shake

Chorus:
G        D
 Wasn't Coke in his Sonic cup
Em7
 Never knew him never drunk
G            D                  Cadd9
 It's kinda sad when your hero's face down in his Cheerios
