Father’s Day by Frank Turner Ukulele Chords

When I was sixteen I cut myself a Mohawk
Because I wanted to walk the walk
And not just talk the talk
But it was a bit of a disaster because
I did the sides with kitchen scissors
Because I didnât have any clippers
And I didnât want to use a beard-trimmer
Iâd made that mistake before

When you got home you didnât want to talk about what Iâd done
You said Iâd let you down, Iâd fked around, when I was only having fun
With the way that youâve been lately, youâve no right to scream and shout
You and I, weâve got a lot that we need to talk about

Whatâs the point in making vows that youâre never going to keep?
A lifetime lying awake means youâll never get to sleep
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you

[Instrumental]



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 dont want to talk about what youâve done
Yes youâve let me down, youâve fked around, but I guess you were having fun
With the way that Iâve been lately, Iâve no right to scream and shout
You and I, weâve got a lot that we need to talk about

Whatâs the point in making vows that youâre never going to keep?
A lifetime lying awake means youâll never get to sleep
And all the promises you made, that were painful and untrue
Of all the things you do they reflect worst on you

You always told me Fatherâs Day was just another way
Of selling Hallmark greeting cards
Twenty years of waking sleep, of lying through your teeth
Meant every Fatherâs Day spent wondering where the hell you are

[Instrumental]

Whatâs the point in us making vows that weâre 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
But for better or for worse, I am turning into you
