regrets regrets
Em
i moved the glass to my lips,
took a sip and sighed
D
why does it feel like our lives
on a slip 'n slide?
C
kids, they add stress,
work ain't workin' the best
C
but that ain't the explanation
D
why this love is a mess
Em
i guess priorities
are prioritised over time
D
and the only moments we spend
are sleepin' side by side
C
mornin' breaks, same old nags
and complaints
C
i'm just tryna drink my coffee,
D
if we engage, then we'll be late
Em D
i push it down to avoid a situation
but all it does is come out
C
in the public places
can't be as open when they recognise
our faces
C
if they think it's heated,
D
i guess that's an understatement
Em
but it used to be alive,
be electric, burnin' bright
D
there's a spark left in the embers,
find some gasoline tonight
C
shut the world down, put the past behind
C
see the mountain, got so far to climb
D
is all that's left for you and i
Chorus
Em
regrets
D
i'm not sayin' it's all in my head
C
but i can't help thinkin' what's next
C
when tomorrow is all we got left
D Em
confessing regrets
why's there distance
D
when we're right here?
C
is the anger just proof we care?
C
and love and war is not fair
D (Em)
confessing regrets
Em
you're too young to understand
that daddy's comin' home
D
every time i leave the house,
you think i'm forever gone
C
guess it's from the hundred calls,
goodnights on the telephone
C
see this tour, i've gotta get it done,
D
but why though?
Em
always said i'd pause work
as soon as you came
without structure,
D
i just slipped into depression again
C
this is just one of the things
that i could never explain
C
each and every day rollin' the dice,
D
forever caught in the game
Em
still uprootin' you both
until the sickness started
D
missed appointments, ripped apart
C
aimed to be the best dad here,
but missed the mark
C
breakin' both you and your sister's heart,
D
and your mother's too
Em
i see the wood for the trees
cause there's no other truth
D
i gotta stop puttin' work
so far in front of you
C
cause there is so much more love
that a man can lose
C
tryna get back what i've lost,
D
sittin' here and all i've got is
Chorus

D (Em)
confessing regrets
Em
three generations of women in my life,
they keep me stood
D
they know that i don't keep in touch
with your mum as much as i should
C
i know that you got your battles,
the same as me
dna in us, we feel so much shame in us,
D
what we offer ain't enough
Em
these thoughts get dangerous,
one way that the pain can stop
D
hope and pray that both my little girls,
they ain't the same as us
C
missed out on so much,
i really need to make it up
D
take you on a plane and just, you know
Em
i wish there was more one on one,
and you didn't share your son
D
i wish you didn't have to move away,
but that sorta thing comes
C
when your identity shifts
from bein' mum and imogen
to havin' my stage name in front
D
when you talk to anyone
Em
my mind's all in a rut,
i'm unsure if it will stop
D
if you reach out and think that
i'm ignorin' you, i'm not
C
i'm just lost in my head,
wish i could pause the world and then
C
i'll talk it out with you
D
and say, "mum, i'm here again with"
