♫ Verse 1: Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
       D                       G
My old man loves a slap at the pub
D                          G
One hundred stiff down the plug
           Bm                      A
"It's just money", he says, "Can't take it when you're dead"
      D                      G
Fends off my disputes with a shrug

♫ Verse 2: Ruby Fields:
    D                         G
The sad thing
Dad, is we all lag behind
     D                  G
With pokie machines and   speeding fines
    Bm                           A
The bank of life says that we're all in deep debt
           D                        G
So money's quite nice to have while alive


♫ Pre-Chorus:  Ruby Fields:
   Bm                    A
So we'll just exchange a judgemental gaze
         D                     G
While he slaps and I sip on my ciggie
             Bm                                  A
His wallet's having as much fun as the air in my lungs
        D                      G
It's as bad as him smokin' 'em with me


♫ Chorus:  Ruby Fields:
        D         D
Oh, the age
        G         G
Oh, the ages

♫ Verse 3: Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
       D                       G
My old man loves a slap at the pub
D                                G
Sticks to light beer, it's nicer   on his gut
      Bm                      A
"It's better", he says, "than headaches in bed
         D                           G
And it's winning me points with your mum"


♫ Pre-Chorus:  Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
   Bm                     A
So we'll just exchange an eye-level gaze
          D                    G
'Fore the taxi man gives him a call
      Bm                               A
"It's good to see you
Dad"; "You too, possum
I'm glad
F#m         D                     G
To see that you're not smoking anymore"
G N.C.
I lie and walk around the block and light another one


♫ Chorus:  Ruby Fields & Adam Newling:
        D
Oh, the age
        G
Oh, the ages
        D
Oh, the age
        G
Oh, the ages
