Frank Turner – Fathers Day (Guitar)

 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 didnât have any clippers

 Dsus2
And I didnât want to use a beard-trimmer

 G
Iâd made that mistake before

 Em            G                     D                    A
When you got home you didnât want to talk about what Iâd done

             Em                 G                        D              A
You said Iâd let you down, Iâd fucked around, when I was only having fun

         Em                   G                 D                   A
With the way that youâve been lately, youâve no right to scream and shout

         Em            G                   D         A
You and I, weâve got a lot that we need to talk about

D                           A                                 Bm
Whatâs the point in making vows that youâre never going to keep?

                      G
A lifetime lying awake means youâll 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

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 dont want to talk about what youâve done

           Em                  G                    D                     A
Yes youâve let me down, youâve fucked around, but I guess you were having fun

         Em                 G                D                       A
With the way that Iâve been lately, Iâve no right to scream and shout

         Em            G                   D           A
You and I, weâve got a lot that we need to talk about

D                            A                              Bm
Whatâs the point in making vows that youâre never going to keep?

                     G
A lifetime lying awake means youâll 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

F#m                         Bm                      G
You always told me Fatherâs 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 Fatherâs Day spent wondering where the hell you are

Em                              G                               D
Whatâs the point in us making vows that weâre 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
