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 fxxked 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 .
