Am              F
At times I tell myself, 'cause I'm the only one I listen too
C                       G                               Am
Micheal man I'm sick of you! How could you be so hypocritical?
F                                        C                         G
A few years ago you wouldn't smoke, now look what you're addicted to
                           Am
And you wonder why you're ridiculed
 F
You're so different than you used to be
       C                   G
It's almost like you isn't who you was when you was still a youth
Am               F                                     C                         G
What's got into you? Not only are you smoking but, to top it off your drinking too!

                    Am                        F
And getting nicked every time you're getting pissed
                                          C                         G
And I've figured all the cigs you use in all your spliffs addictive too
                           Am                        F
You need to pick a route, look at what your father's like
                         C
You don't wanna end up in his shoes
G                                       Am
Another shit excuse for a dad, he lived to use
 F
Abusing what he can to lift his mood
C        G
I think crack head would be the thing they'd use
Am               F                                    *start strumming palm mutted to build until the chorus*
As a descriptive tool if in a witness interview
         C       G
I'm just saying  you should think it through


[Chorus]
*STRUM*
Am   F          C                      Am
This life, and all you had you wasted away
         F           C
One last look in the mirror
Am   F          C             F            Am
I'd cry, if it would wash the pain from my face
  F            C
Feels all too familiar

Am              F
You know I only spit the truth
C                                 G
Sometimes when you look into the mirror I see him in you
Am                  F
I look deep in your eyes and each and individual
C                              G
Mistake you've made simmers through, always got something to prove
Am                        F
It's better to regret the things you've done, than shit you didn't do
C                              G
But now you're about to have a kid, so you got everything to lose
Am                           F
You have to give your child what your dad never gave to you
C                              G
You was man enough to stick it in, be man enough to stick it through


(From  here onwards in the verse the fingerpicking is buried in the back, you can strum here)

Am               F
And you're just gonna have to handle that
C                          G
Collateral damage happens man I know it's hard to fathom that
Am                    F
You make your bed you lie in it, I'll just say the fact is that
      C                  G
I'll die before I let my kid call another man his dad!
 Am               F
It never happens quite the way you have it planned
C                          G
And prides one thing that never seems to pass the glands
Am                        F
I couldn't wash it down regardless of the cans I drank
C                            G
I just want my child to know I'll be there for him hand in hand


[Chorus]

Am   F          C             F             Am
I'd cry, if it would wash the pain from my face
F              C
Feels all too familiar


[Verse 3]
Am                  F
Pardon me for being stupid
C                         G
I lost my way and now I realise I need to change
Am                  F
Apologies for these excuses
C                         G
I've been foolish there's no reasoning for my mistakes




[Outro]
