C F

He'd get home at 5:30, fix his drink and sit down in his chair

G C

Pick a fight with mama, complain about us kids getting in his hair

C F

At night he'd sit alone and smoke, I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame

G C

Now that same frown's in my mirror, I got my daddy's blood inside my veins

Chorus:

C F

Fish swim, Birds fly

G C

Daddies yell, Mamas cry

C F F/E Dm G

Old men sit and think

C

I drink

Chicken TV dinner, 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high

A beer to wash it down with then another, a little whiskey on the side

It's not so bad alone here, it don't bother me that every night's the same

I don't need another lover hanging 'round, trying to make me change

Chorus

Bridge:

Em

I know

F

What I am

Em

But I don’t

F G

Give a damn

Chorus
