Chorus:

Am           Em
  There's no hole in my head
G                    D
  Accusation: I just ain't the family type
Am                  Em
  Falling short and you've got better plans
G                   D
  Escape artist and you just undermine

(G)
Your father tried to knock some sense into me
          (C)
He goes, "After all, a man is just a man"
(G)
As I recall he thumped your mom bloody hardy and bloody hung
(C)
Parenthood was a belt buckle to him
