Your m[A]mom smokes in the ki[Dbm]kitchen
Her vo[D]voice a cutting dr[A]drone

Your fat[A]father's second ho[D]home
That leaves y[A]ou on yo[D]ur o[E]wn

[Bm]Out the gate [E]to the motorway
What s[A]secrets have you f[D]found?
[A]You had to know [Dbm]I wanted

Put another d[E]dent in your life?

Put another d[E]dent in your life
