Tom: C
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)
N.C
Look at us now, Dad
N.C
Look at us now, Dad
