When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk,
Dsus2
Because I wanted to walk the walk,
Dsus2* G
And not just talk the talk,
Dsus2
But it was a bit of a disaster because
Dsus2* G
I did the sides with kitchen scissors,
Dsus2
Because I didn't have any clippers,
Dsus2* G
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 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.

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
D A Bm.
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue,
G D
Of 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 G
You always told me Father's Day was just another way
Dsus2*
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
F#msus4 Bm G
Twenty Years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth,
D Dsus2* Gsus2
Meant 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
