Verse 1

Oh, when my weight left the room
Did you take a deep breath?   
I stole the beer and drove home
There was only one left   
And I wrestle the feelin'
You're still thinking about that    
Wide awake in your room
Just seething about that   

Pre-Chorus

When I make my flight, I'm the devil
But when I stay the night, then we drink
And we stay up and fight about the childhood lie
That we both had the courage to leave

Chorus

I'm willing and able
If you wanna kick this rock around 
If you've got a bone to pick with me
If you've got a flag, plant it in the ground
Oh I'll stay here 'til morning 
Oh, we can fight like we used to fight
Bony-limbed, red-faced, and teary-eyed 
Under the glow of the TV light
I'd be willing and able

Interlude

|(Em) | D | C Csus2 | C Csus2 |

Verse 2

Look at you leaving again
It's all you know how to do   
Go ahead, take the last of the drinks
The world belongs to you   
They all say you're a light
All I see is a shadow    
And I'll see you again in six months
When you need your next song   

Pre-Chorus

'Cause if I call you out, I'm an asshole
But I tell the truth when I drink
So, come home, let's fight about the childhood lie
We don't care what the other one thinks

Chorus

I'm willing and able
If you wanna kick this rock around 
If you've got a bone to pick with me
If you've got a flag, plant it in the ground
Oh I'll stay here 'til morning 
Oh, we can fight like we used to fight
Bony-limbed, red-faced, and teary-eyed 
Under the glow of the TV light
Oh I wish you could know me 

Bridge

And I wish I could know you much more sometimes 
Wish I could do nothing with you 
Sit in the yard while the day dies
Leave it all on the table 
And I'll say I love you and mean it this time 
Say I'm sorry for everything else 
If we found a way to the other side
I'd be willing and able 

Outro

I'd be willing and able 
I'd be willing and able 
I'd be willing and able
I'd be willing and able 
I'd be willing and able 
I'd be willing and able 
I'd be willing and able
C*
If you're willing, I'm able
