A (With Love)

By Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers

♪ Capo 2

[D]Caught in the middle of a teenage love affair

[D]Kids get it the worst, you know

[D]She was 16, her parents couldn’t take her anywhere

[D]She’d already started to show

She had [G]Am[D]y inside of her

[G]Am[D]y, you gotta [D/C#]let it go

[G]You [D]think she didn’t [D/C#]want you

But [Bm]how could [A]that be [D]so

The daughter let her hair down just like her mama did

The couple didn’t stand a chance

Anything and everything, looking out for God-forbid

But man, could the girl dance

And it was a family

And the family, last time I checked

Was a group of people who give you love

When you least expect

So the parents split-up like the whole Grand Canyon

And the story unfolds some more

You can’t please your mother and your father wasn’t there for you

And now the brother you adore is saying

“Amy, you used to

Carry me underneath your arm

And maybe your little brother knows

That you can’t cover up the scars

Bridge:

[D]And it had nothing to do with [G]you

[A]And it had [G]nothing to do with [D]me

And it had [F#m]nothing to do with [G]love

Maybe that’s the [A]craziest thing in the whole biogra[G]phy Oh [D]yeah

So, the feelings buried, lit a fuse to the bomb

And the daughter got far away

She always was a fighter with an agony inside her

And you can hear what her daughter says

She says, “Mommy Why are you so angry?

And it’s time that you stopped

blaming me and everybody else

Maybe someday you’ll forgive yourself.”

And the family

And the family, last time I checked

Is a group of people who give you love

When you least expect

For this heart that we can not protect

For this heart that we can not protect

I got this love and this great respect

For this heart that we can not protect

Yeah
