[Verse 1]
C G AbThe singer kind of slaughtered "I Wanna Be Your Lover"
AmAnd someone went to fetch a few more pitchers
C G Ab AmIt wasn't all that crowded because the softball games had washed out in the rain
Bb FI'd slipped out of my shift on some sort of screw-up with the schedule
C Bb C BbThere's a couple newer places by the river but Skippers is mainly where we hang
[Verse 2]
C G Ab AmCarlos had been distant since his sister went to Denver with that dickhead
C G Ab AmThe dude claimed he was a carpenter but no one ever saw him pound a nail
Bb FAnd Carlos knew his sister was old enough to make her own decisions
C Bb C N.C.But he hopes she isn't home when they finally come to take that jerk to jail
[Chorus]
CNow Carlos starts crying
And we're all kind of frightened
BbAnd every single person at the table stops talking
FAnd he's sobbing and shaking
And yeah, we've been drinking
C BbBut it's different for boys
CHe said how did this happen?
It feels like we're drifting
BbAre you sure we're even asking all the pertinent questions?
FTurn on the burner and the butter will blacken
C BbDon't act like this was even our choice
[Verse 3]
Am G Bm AmMickey got up to get some money to put into the jukebox
C G Ab AmThe waitress brought some water and then quickly scurried off back towards the bar
Bb FCarlos didn't even seem to care who was taking in the breakdown
C Bb C N.C.I asked him if he wanted me to offer to walk him to his car
[Chorus]
CHe said how did we get here?
We started as skaters
BbThen you got your license and then graduation
FThen I changed medications and everything after
C BbWent sideways including tonight
CYou had a Screamer with trackers and OJs
BbAnd I had a Steadham with Bones and a dome tail
FAnd if failure's a trick then we learned pretty quick
CIt just took a few times to get right
[Bridge]
GMan, we used to glide
BbWe used to hang like the smoke
GWe'd show off for my sister
BbWe didn't mind being broke
C FNow every conversation I have is about money
C FAnd I leave home in the morning but then I just keep driving
C FI kill off the day until you guys stop working
CThen pitchers at Skippers
N.C.
Now Carlos is crying
[Chorus]
CCarlos is crying
Because he didn't tell his girlfriend
BbThat he stopped showing up at his job in the morning
FAnd it's been a few weeks
And he knows it's not sweet
CAnd he's sobbing and shaking
And all I can say is
CI love you, I feel you
I know that you're hurting
BbYou're scared for your sister
You haven't been working
AmI love you, I feel you
FI'm sorry you're hurting
CBut turn off the burner
The butter is burning
