Lucy Dacus - Thumbs: chords

A#               Gm
You hung up the phone
      F                   D#
And I asked you what was wrong
             Gm            F
Your dad has come to town
              D#
He'd like to meet
         A#                D#
I said, "You don't have to see him"
     Gm                            D#
But for whatever reason you can't tell him no

So we meet him at a bar
You were holding my hand hard
He ordered rum and Coke
I can't drink either anymore
He hadn't seen you since the fifth grade
Now you're nineteen and you're 5'8"
He said, "Honey, you sure look great
Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?"

Chorus:
        Cm
I would kill him
        F
If you let me
        Cm
I would kill him
           F
Quick and easy
          Cm        A#
Your nails are digging
      F
Into my knee
         Gm
I don't know
     F         D#
How you keep smiling

I love your eyes
And he has 'em
Or you have his
'Cause he was first
I imagine my thumbs on the irises
Pressing in until they burst

I clear my throat
And say we ought to get home
He offers us a ride
I reply, "No, that's alright"
And when we leave
You feel him watching
So we walk a mile in the wrong direction

Chorus

        Gm
I don't know
      F        D#
how you keep smiling
        Gm
I don't know
     F         D#
how you keep smiling

         F                         D#
I wanna take your face between my hands and say
A#              Gm           F          D#
"You two are connected by a pure coincidence
A#               Gm             F               D#
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative
A#                 Gm         F                  D#
You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid
A#                     Gm       F           D#
But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did
A#                 Gm       F           D#
You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"
