Father´s Day

(capo 3ª casa)

(intro) Em G D A

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.

(intro)  Em G D A

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.

Em          G                 D               A              Em
What's the point in us making vows that we're never going to keep?
      G                 D             A                 Em
I keep trying to keep you up, but you keep on falling asleep.
       G                 D         A             Em
And all the promises we made were painful and untrue,
       G              D          A            Em
But for better or for worse, I am turning into you.
