[Intro]
Em Em G G D D A A x4

[Verse]
Dsus2 Dsus2
When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk
G G
Because I wanted to walk the walk
Dsus2 Dsus2
And not just talk the talk
G G
But it was a bit of a disaster because
Dsus2 Dsus2
I did the sides with kitchen scissors
G G
Because I didn't have any clippers
Dsus2 Dsus2
And I didn't want to use a beard-trimmer
G G
I'd made that mistake before

Em Em G G D D A A
When you got home you didnât want to talk about what I'd done
Em Em G G D D A A
You said I'd let you down, I'd fucked around, when I was only having fun
Em Em G G D D A A
With the way that you've been lately, you've no right to scream and shout
Em Em G G D D A A
You and I, we've got a lot that we need to talk about

[Chorus]
D D A A Bm Bm
What's the point in making vows that you're never going to keep?
G G
A A lifetime lying awake means you'll never get to sleep
D D A A Bm Bm
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue
G G
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you

[Instrumental]
D D G G D D A A
Em Em G G D D A A

[Verse]
Dsus2 Dsus2
We all have our own devices
G G
For handling mid-life crises
Dsus2 Dsus2
Usually involves a motorbike and
G G
Suspicious fashion decisions
Dsus2 Dsus2
But you choose to stave off grey hairs by
G G
Lamely hacking at the sides
Dsus2 Dsus2
With lies and flimsy alibis
G G
For your suspicious expeditions

Em Em G G D D A A
When I get home I don't want to talk about what you've done
Em Em G G D D A A
Yes you've let me down, you've fucked around, but I guess you were having fun
Em Em G G D D A A
With the way that I've been lately, I've no right to scream and shout
Em Em G G D D A A
You and I, we've got a lot that we need to talk about

[Chorus]
D D A A Bm Bm
What's the point in making vows that you're never going to keep?
G G
A A lifetime lying awake means you'll never get to sleep
D D A A Bm Bm
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue
G G
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you

[Bridge]
F#m F#m Bm Bm G G
You always told me Father's Day was just another way
D D A A
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
F#m F#m Bm Bm G G
Twenty years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth
D D Dbm Dbm G G
Meant every Father's Day spent wondering where the hell you are

[Instrumental]
Em Em G G D D A A x2

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