Track Info

[Intro]
A D [Verse]
A Godspeed little sinner Dragged me to church to
D
eat Jesus Christ
I can be a little pessimistic I can be a little critical
A
sometimes
Can't sleep so you whisper Now I see through
D
all those little lies
But I didn't know better But now I get it I'm sorry that
Bm
I made you cry
[Pre-Chorus]
A E/G# F#m Those times the cops came by D Mom, I tried

(Mom, I tried)
[Chorus]
A They freak you up,
Bm C#m
your parents do
D They may not mean to

but they do
They may not mean to
F#m E
but they do
A So, they freak you up,
Bm C#m
your parents do
D They may not mean to

but they do
They may not mean to
F#m E A
but they do
[Verse]
A Didn't raise no quitter I'm still hooked and I think
D
it'll kill me too
Caught myself in the mirror And for a second

I'd swear that it was you
A You saw me, Mister Sinner Didn't miss one game
D
the entire time
Didn't care about the winner Doesn't matter as long as
Bm
you got your pride
[Pre-Chorus]
A E/G# I know we fight F#m D I know they were right They were right [Chorus]
A They freak you up,
Bm C#m
your parents do
D They may not mean to

but they do
They may not mean to
F#m E
but they do
A So, they freak you up,
Bm C#m
your parents do
D Do as I say that not as I do "When I was your age,
F#m E A
I was just like you"
[Bridge]
Bm A/C# So, did you love too much? D Or was it not enough? Bm You know they're
A/C#
not to blame
E Because you're

all freaked up
A Those kids will be
Bm C#m
the death of you
D They were so sweet but

then they grew
But now they're

freaked up just like you
Go! [Solo]

but they do
They may not mean to
F#m E
but they do
A So, they freak you up,

your parents do
Bm (They freak you up,
C#m
they freak you up)
D “I love you son” “Yeah, I love you too” "When I grow up, yeah,
F#m E A
I think just like you"
