[Primera Parte]

   C
My dad is almost home
             G
I can't tell time yet but I know
            Em
Because the air becomes electric
       C
And my mother cleans the stove
      C
We're walkin' through the door
            G
And both my eyes will find the floor
           Em
And I will search my brain to find something
   C
I might get yelled at for
      C
He'll come in with a frown and tell me
  G
"Sit your ass right down"
            Em
Or he might get his kicks from jokin'
           C
 That he's just playin' around
         C
And in a few years I will leave
               G
But I will perpetually believe
         Em
That any man who tells me that he loves me
          C
Is hidin' somethin' up his sleeve

[Estribillo]

C              G
Wash me in the water
        D                 G
You can cut off all of my hair
             C                 G
And I'll, be changin' like the weather
         D             G
But I'll never be like him

[Segunda Parte]

          C
The other girls date older guys
               G
And wear their T-shirts late at night
         D
But everything I own that's oversize
  G
Belongs to me, it's mine
    C                                 G
And I don't have souvenirs of all the earliest of years
            D
You know my father isn't dead
              G
But it don't feel like he's still here
     C
It's strange now that he's greyin'
        G
 Gettin' older by the day
            D
And my eyes tell me that he's harmless
             G
Despite what my heart has to say

[Pre-Estribillo]

   C
So maybe just forget
      G
Maybe move on don't regret
         Em
Or maybe this is just another trick
     C
That hasn't happened yet

[Estribillo]

C              G
Wash me in the water
        Em                C
You can cut off all of my hair
             C                 G
And I'll, be changin' like the weather
         Em            C
But I'll never be like him
       C                  G
'Cause blood is thick but water is forever
        Em
And I'm stiffer than a board
 D
Lighter than a feather
         C
And that girl will be a problem
 G
Only if you let her
      Em
And I left it back home
    D
But I can't help forget her

[Puente]

  C                   G
I thought that it was my fault
        Em                C
And now sometimes I still do
           C                    G
You didn't chase me through the park
            Em            C
So now I'm, chasin' after you
             C              G
But I can't, keep off the illusion
            Em                 C
Oh, I can't find your point of view
            C              G
Oh, I can't bear to fake a smile
         Em              C
When you walk into the room

[Estribillo]

  C                  G
'Cause blood is thick but water is forever
        Em
And I'm stiffer than a board
 D
Lighter than a feather
         C
And that girl will be a problem
 G
Only if you let her
      Em
And I left it back home
    D
But I can't help forget her
C              G
Wash me in the water
        Em                D
You can cut off all of my hair
             C                 G
And I'll, be changin' like the weather
         Em            D
But I'll never be like him
