[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
BmFather's hDands were lined with dEsus2irt
From long days in the fBmield
And mother's hDands are serving mEsus2eals
In a café on Main StrBmeet
With mouths to fDeed
Esus2She's trying to keep clothing on our Bmbacks
And all I hAear aboutEsus2  
Is how it's so bad, it's so bad
[Chorus]
It's too bGad, it's too bad
Too lDate, so wrong, so lEmong
It's too bad that we Ghad no time to reDwind
Let's walk, let's tEmalk   (Let's talk)
[Verse 2]
BmYou left withoDut saying goodbEsus2ye
Although I'm sure you triBmed
You call the Dhouse from time to Esus2time
To make sure we're alBmive
But you weren't DthereEsus2  
Right when I needed you the mBmost
And now I drAeam about iEsus2t
and how it's so bad, it's so bad
[Chorus]
It's too bGad, it's too bad
Too lDate, so wrong, so lEmong
It's too bad that we Ghad no time to reDwind
Let's walk, let's tEmalk
It's so bad, it's too Gbad, it's too bad

Just look at where we aBmre
We made it Dout, Esus2still got clothing on our bBmacks

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Bm D Esus2

Father's hands were lined with dirt

From long days in the field

D Esus2

And mother's hands are serving meals

In a café on Main Street

With mouths to feed

Esus2 Bm

She's trying to keep clothing on our backs

A Esus2

And all I hear about

Is how it's so bad, it's so bad

[Chorus]

It's too bad, it's too bad

D Em

Too late, so wrong, so long

G D

It's too bad that we had no time to rewind

Let's walk, let's talk (Let's talk)

[Verse 2]

Bm D Esus2

You left without saying goodbye

Although I'm sure you tried

D Esus2

You call the house from time to time

To make sure we're alive

D Esus2

But you weren't there

Right when I needed you the most

A Esus2

And now I dream about it

and how it's so bad, it's so bad

[Chorus]

It's too bad, it's too bad

D Em

Too late, so wrong, so long

G D

It's too bad that we had no time to rewind

Let's walk, let's talk

It's so bad, it's too bad, it's too bad

Too late, so wrong, so long

It's too bad that we had no time to rewind

Let's walk, let's talk (Let's talk)

Father's hands are lined with guilt

For tearing us apart

Bm D Esus2

Guess it turned out in the end

Just look at where we are

D Esus2 Bm

We made it out, still got clothing on our backs

A Esus2

And now I scream about it

and how it's so bad, it's so bad, it's so bad, it's so bad

[Chorus]

It's too bad, it's too bad

D Em

Too late, so wrong, so long

G D

It's too bad that we had no time to rewind

Let's walk, let's talk

It's so bad, it's too bad, it's too bad

Too late, so wrong, so long

G D

It's too bad that we had no time to rewind

Let's walk, let's talk

[Outro]

No time, let's walk, let's talk
