Dsus2 (xx0230@1)        Dsus2*		        G (320003@1)     When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk,
				Dsus2Because (xx0230@1)I wanted to walk the walk,
    Dsus2*		  GAnd (320003@1)not just talk the talk,
				      Dsus2But (xx0230@1)it was a bit of a disaster because
    Dsus2*		       GI (320003@1)did the sides with kitchen scissors,
				Dsus2Because (xx0230@1)I didn't have any clippers,
    Dsus2*		       GAnd (320003@1)I didn't want to use a beard-trimmer -
GI'd (320003@1)made that mistake before.

	Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)    AYou (x02220@1)and I, we've got a lot that we need to talk about.

D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)		    BmWhat's (x24432@1)the point in making vows that you're never going to keep?

 		      G (320003@1)	        DOf (xx0232@1)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 (x24432@1)	   GYou (320003@1)always told me Father's Day was just another way
		    Dsus2*
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
F#msus4				  Bm (x24432@1)	GTwenty (320003@1)Years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth,
		      D (xx0232@1)	 Dsus2*		    Gsus2Meant (3x0233@1)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.
