[Intro]
Em G D A x4
[Verse]
Dsus2
When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk
G
Because I wanted to walk the walk
Dsus2
And not just talk the talk
G
But it was a bit of a disaster because
Dsus2
I did the sides with kitchen scissors
G
Because I didn't have any clippers
Dsus2
And I didn't want to use a beard-trimmer
G
I'd made that mistake before
Em G D A
When you got home you didnât 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 D A
You and I we've got a lot that we need to talk about
[Chorus]
D A Bm
What's the point in making vows that you're never going to keep
G
A lifetime lying awake means you'll never get to sleep
D 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
[Instrumental]
D G D A
Em G D A
[Verse]
Dsus2
We all have our own devices
G
For handling mid-life crises
Dsus2
Usually involves a motorbike and
G
Suspicious fashion decisions
Dsus2
But you choose to stave off grey hairs by
G
Lamely hacking at the sides
Dsus2
With lies and flimsy alibis
G
For your suspicious expeditions
Em G D A
When I get home I don't want to talk about what you've done
Em G D A
Yes you've let me down you've fucked around but I guess you were having fun
Em G D A
With the way that I've been lately I've no right to scream and shout
Em G D A
You and I we've got a lot that we need to talk about
[Chorus]
D A Bm
What's the point in making vows that you're never going to keep
G
A lifetime lying awake means you'll never get to sleep
D 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
[Bridge]
F#m Bm G
You always told me Father's Day was just another way
D A
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
F#m Bm G
Twenty years of waking sleep of lying through your teeth
D Dbm G
Meant every Father's Day spent wondering where the hell you are
[Instrumental]
Em G D A x2
[Outro]
Em G D
What's the point in us making vows that we're never going to keep
A
I keep trying to keep you up but you keep on falling asleep
Em D D
And all the promises we made were painful and untrue
A G
But for better or for worse I am turning into you
