[Chorus]
A                 E
I have had no need for fathers

D
Or fathers in the clouds

A              E
Out of the sky

                 D
There comes this guy

        A   E   D
Saying "I...I...I..."
[Verse]
F#m               E
What does one say?

                D
"Where have you been all this time?"

F#m                   E
"Where's my back pay?"

                   D
"Was your Broadway play sublime?"

A             E      D
There is a lie on my birth certificate

    A            E                 D
And the other guy would like me to change it

D
I've met each of them twice

F#m                 E
Here's an odd thing

    D
The correspondence is queer

F#m                     E
We've both written songs

             D
Danced to by Richard Gere
