Look At Us Now Dad

C            Am                  
I didn't know the things you knew
     Dm
 then
                    G         C
She locked herself away to die
               Am                  
I’ll never know  the things you've 
   Dm
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
I don't wanna see you struggle no 
Dm
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
But I don't wanna see you struggle 
   Dm
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                                 
I wanna make time, you know that I 
G
try

I always got time for you

C Am


[Verse 2]
C               Am               
We'll never know why we stumbled 
      Dm
so low
                 G
I locked myself away to die

C          Am              
Never alone, but callouses on 
                   Dm
fingers and all toes
                        G
What was theirs is yours, and now 
it's mine

You know that I try for you

try

I always got time for you

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

us now, Dad)
                     Dm
That flicker in your eye, Dad
                    G
Why you wanna cause friction? (Look 
at us now, Dad)
C                                 
You’re out the door before we can 
                Am
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

I wanna be kind to you
Am
You know that I try for you

try

I always got time for you (Time for 
you)
