Am

[Verse]
C                 E           Am
He wakes up has a drink or two
C                  E          Am
He has two more to follow suit
C                 E             Am
By 12 hes falling down the stairs
C                 E           Am
By 1 hes thinking no one cares

[Break]
C                 E           Am

[Verse]
   C             E              Am
He struggles to iron his clothes
             C                E            Am
He said that he'd be out 'til god who knows?
        C                 E           Am
And his badge is fixed to his left arm
   C                   E             Am
He stinks of drink yet hes still calm

[Bridge]
D7              C         C/G          Am
  What a way to live your life my father
D7              C           C/G            Am
  Each drink it drowns your son and daughter

[Chorus]
F                  G                             C        C/G        Am
 And I know that it hurts, But you didnt have to go and do your worst
            F                 G                C          C/G         Am
And i wanna shout, And i wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down
               F      G           Am
onto what youve done, to your son

[Verse]
      C               E            Am
So he wakes again and blows off work
   C               E          Am
He looks at me and gives a smirk
  C                E       Am
A smirk i'll never see again
   C                 E            Am
The drink its stolen my best friend

[Break]
C                 E           Am

[Verse]
    C               E           Am
You always said you couldnt think
    C               E           Am
So is that why you chose the drink
    C             E          Am
Or was it he that came to you
    C                      E              Am
He touched your heart your lips turned blue

[Chorus]
F                  G                             C        C/G        Am
 And I know that it hurts, But you didnt have to go and do your worst
            F                 G                C          C/G         Am
And i wanna shout, And i wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down
               F      G                   Am
onto what youve done, But im still your son
