Key: G
Introduction:
Em G DA
D A Bm
When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk,
G D
Because I wanted to walk the walk,
A Bm
And not just talk the talk,
G D
But it was a bit of a disaster because
A Bm
I did the sides with kitchen scissors,
G D
Because I didn't have any clippers,
A Bm
And I didn't want to use a beard-trimmer -
G
I'd made that mistake before.
(bridge)
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.
(refrão)
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.
A Bm
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue,
G
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you.
Em G DA
D A Bm
We all have our own devices
G D
For handling mid-life crises
A Bm
Usually involves a motorbike and
G D
Suspicious fashion decisions.
A Bm
But you choose to stave off grey hairs by
G D
Lamely hacking at the sides
A Bm
With lies and flimsy alibis
G
For your suspicious expeditions.

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

But for better or for worse, I am turning into you.
