Dsus2 When I was sixtDsus2*een I cut myself a Mohawk, G
Because I wanted to walk theDsus2 walk,
And Dsus2*not just talk the talkG,
But it was a bit of a disaster becDsus2ause
I diDsus2*d the sides with kitchen scGissors,
Because I didn't have any clDsus2ippers,
And Dsus2*I didn't want to use a bearGd-trimmer –
GI'd made that mistake before.
EmWhen you got homGe you didn't want to tDalk about what I'dA done.
You said I'dEm let you down, I'd fuckGed around, when I was Donly having funA.
With thEme way that you've beeGn lately, you've no riDght to scream and shAout.
You andEm I, we've got a lGot that we need to Atalk about.
DWhat's the point in making Avows that you're never going to kBmeep?
A lifetime lyinGg awake means you'll never get Dto sleep
D A Bm.
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue,
Of all the things youG do they reflect worst oDn 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#msus4You always told me Father's Day Bmwas just another way G
Of selling HallmarDsus2*k greeting cards
F#msus4Twenty Years of waking sleep, of lyinBmg through your teeth, G
Meant every Father'sD Day spent wondering whDsus2*o the hell you are. Gsus2
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,
But for better or for worse, I am turning G*into you.
