Atmospheres are tense today
A G
Mother and Father are rowing again
A G
Silently seated around the table
A G
You're the one that's getting the blame
A G
Father looks at you like a snake
A G
You play with the food upon your plate
A G
No one seems to be on your side
A G
Things that threaten to hurt your pride
G G
Mother loves to be concerned
Em A
Using lessons that she learnt
G A
Fathers never understand
G D A G A G A
When children have the upper hand
A G
Smiling, you did your time at school
A G
Crying quietly like a fool
A G
Saturday night and Sunday morning
A G
Did all the things they asked you to do
A G
They say that home is where the heart is
A G
But home is only where the hurt is
A G
Pull the wool over the eyes
A G
Forget the worries that you started
G G
Mother loves to be concerned
Em A
Using lessons that she learnt
G A
Fathers never understand
G D A G A G A
When children have the upper hand
A G
When you stayed out every night
A G
The first time from your parent's sight
A G
They started to show some concern
A G
But by then it was too late
A G
Feel it's time to pull away
A G
Shut your ears to all they say
A G
Be yourself, you know it's true
A G
'Cause in the end what's left is you
