C            Am                       Dm
I didn't know the things you knew then
                    G         C
She locked herself away to die
               Am                     Dm
I’ll never know  the things you've seen
             G
A little boy, so scared and not allowed to cry


[Pre-Chorus]
C
Mama with a bottle in her hand
                  Am
Daddy with a post-war muddle
                                  Dm
I don't wanna see you struggle no more

Oh, and I know you’re my daddy
  G
I know you're mine, I wanna be kind to you
C
Trouble wasn't subtle back then
                          Am
It's the belt or it's the beer bottle
                                      Dm
But I don't wanna see you struggle no more

Call me on satellite
    G
You know I got time, time


[Chorus]
C
I wanna be kind to you
Am
You know that I try for you
Dm                                 G
I wanna make time, you know that I try

I always got time for you

C Am


[Verse 2]
C               Am                     Dm
We'll never know why we stumbled so low
                 G
I locked myself away to die
C          Am                                 Dm
Never alone, but callouses on fingers and all toes
                        G
What was theirs is yours, and now it's mine


[Chorus]
            C
(I wanna be kind) I wanna be kind to you
Am
You know that I try for you
Dm                                 G
I wanna make time, you know that I try

I always got time for you
C
I wanna be kind to you
Am
You know that I try for you
Dm                                 G
I wanna make time, you know that I try

I always got time for you


[Bridge]
C
Look at me now, Dad
Am
Do you see we got out, Dad?
                 Dm
Was sick and I’m well, Dad
       C         G
What a wonderful life we have
C
You were a sad boy, Dad
                  Am
Drinking too many tins, Dad
                 Dm
You read all the things and found love, Dad
                G
You found love, Dad

Well, look at us now (Look at us now, Dad)
C
Still driving us all mad
                            Am
We know you love attention (Look at us now, Dad)
                     Dm
That flicker in your eye, Dad
                    G
Why you wanna cause friction? (Look at us now, Dad)
C                                                 Am
You’re out the door before we can tell you to be, Dad
                    Dm
You really drive us all mad, Dad
                    G
You really drive us up the wall, Dad
                    C
You really drive us all mad


[Chorus]
C
I wanna be kind to you
Am
You know that I try for you
Dm                                 G
I wanna make time, you know that I try

I always got time for you
C
I wanna be kind to you
Am
You know that I try for you
Dm                                 G
I wanna make time, you know that I try

I always got time for you (Time for you)


[Outro]
C                               Am
Look at me now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
                                   Dm
I look at you now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
                                      G
Well, look at us now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
                                     C
On top of the world, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
                                Am
Look at me now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
                                   Dm
I look at you now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)
                                      G
Well, look at us now, Dad (Look at us now, Dad)

Look at us now, Dad

Look at us now, Dad
