Dsus2	         Dsus2*		        G
      When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk,
				Dsus2
Because I wanted to walk the walk,
    Dsus2*		  G
And not just talk the talk,
				      Dsus2
But it was a bit of a disaster because
    Dsus2*		       G
I did the sides with kitchen scissors,
				Dsus2
Because I didn't have any clippers,
    Dsus2*		       G
And I didn't want to use a beard-trimmer -
G
I'd made that mistake before.

Em		G			D		   A
When you got home you didn't want to talk about what I'd done.
	     Em			G			D		A
You said I'd let you down, I'd fucked around, when I was only having fun.
	Em		     G			D		     A
With the way that you've been lately, you've no right to scream and shout.
	Em		 G		    A
You and I, we've got a lot that we need to talk about.

D		            A				    Bm
What's the point in making vows that you're never going to keep?
 		G 				 D
A lifetime lying awake means you'll never get to sleep
D		            A				    Bm.
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue,
 		      G 		        D
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you.

D G D A
Em G D A

We all have our own devices
For handling mid-life crises -
Usually involves a motorbike and
Suspicious fashion decisions.
But you choose to stave off grey hairs by
Lamely hacking at the sides
With lies and flimsy alibis
For your suspicious expeditions.

When I get home I don't want to talk about what you've done.
Yes you've let me down, you've fucked around, but I guess you were having fun.
With the way that I've been lately, I've no right to scream and shout.
You and I, we've got a lot that we need to talk about.

What's the point in us making vows that we're never going to keep?
A lifetime lying awake, means youll never get to sleep
And all the promises we made were painful and untrue,
Of all the things you do, they reflect worst on you

F#msus4			    Bm			   G
You always told me Father's Day was just another way
		    Dsus2*
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
F#msus4				  Bm			G
Twenty Years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth,
		      D			 Dsus2*		    Gsus2
Meant every Father's Day spent wondering who the hell you are.

Em G D A x 2 + Continue throughout final chorus

What's the point in us making vows that we're never going to keep?
I keep trying to keep you up, but you keep on falling asleep.
And all the promises we made were painful and untrue,
						G*
But for better or for worse, I am turning into you.
