Frank Turner - Fathers day

W^Dsus2hen I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk B^Gecause I wanted to walk the walk A^Dsus2nd not just talk the talk B^Gut it was a bit of a disaster because I^Dsus2 did the sides with kitchen scissors B^Gecause I didnât have any clippers A^Dsus2nd I didnât want to use a beard-trimmer I^Gâd made that mistake before

W^Emhen you got ho^Gme you didnât want to ^Dtalk about what Iâd d^Aone You said Iâd ^Emlet you down, Iâd f^Gucked around, when I was ^Donly having fun^A With the ^Emway that youâve been ^Glately, youâve no ^Dright to scream and ^Ashout You and I^Em, weâve got a ^Glot that we need to ^Dtalk about^A

^DWhatâs the point in making v^Aows that youâre never going to kee^Bmp? A lifetime lying awake^G means youâll never get to sleep ^DAnd all the promises you m^Aade, that were painful and untru^Bme Of all the things yo^Gu do they reflect worst on you

^Dsus2We all have our own devices ^GFor handling mid-life crises ^Dsus2Usually involves a motorbike and ^GSuspicious fashion decisions ^Dsus2But you choose to stave off grey hairs by ^GLamely hacking at the sides ^Dsus2With lies and flimsy alibis ^GFor your suspicious expeditions

^EmWhen I get home ^GI dont want to talk^D about what youâve done^A Yes youâve ^Emlet me down, youâve ^Gfucked around, but I ^Dguess you were having ^Afun With the ^Emway that Iâve been ^Glately, Iâve no r^Dight to scream and shout^A You and I^Em, weâve got a ^Glot that we need to ^Dtalk about ^A

^DWhatâs the point in making vo^Aws that youâre never going to k^Bmeep? A lifetime lying awak^Ge means youâll never get to sleep ^DAnd all the promises you ma^Ade, that were painful and untru^Bme Of all the things you d^Go they reflect worst on you

^F#mYou always told me Fatherâs ^BmDay was just another way^G Of selling Hallmark ^Dgreeting ^Acards ^F#mTwenty years of waking sleep^Bm, of lying through your teeth^G Meant every Fatherâs ^DDay spent wondering ^Dbmwhere the hell you are^G

^EmWhatâs the point in us making vo^Gws that weâre never going to kee^Dp? I keep trying to keep you u^Ap, but you keep on falling asleep ^EmAnd all the promises we mad^De were painful and untrue ^D But for better or for wor^Ase, I am turning into you^G
