Verse

Father:
F      G/F
  In denial, no
F             G/F
  My life's a trial
F           G/F
  I'm not denying
     F     G/F
That every little bit hurts
F        G/F
  It's a problem
F              G/F
  That I'm not solving
F             G/F
  Don't mind admitting
  F         G             [Am]
I feel like quitting this job
Am G/B    C      Dm       C
    For a while, getting away
               G          [Am]
Before it gets any worse today

Interlude

| Am G/B | C Dm | C | G |

Verse

Daughter:
F            G/F
 You're in denial
F             G/F
  And that is final
F              G/F
  You're not admitting
    F         G/F
You should be quitting
    F                G/F
All these queens and fairies
F            G/F
  And muscle Marys
F                 G/F
  The rough trade boyfriend
    F        G         [Am]
Who in his pathetic own way
Am G/B           C
     Denies he's gay
Dm            C
Why can't you see?
          G       [Am]
This is a fantasy world

Bridge

Father:
C#m     D#m E     D#m
  Think I'm going mad
C#m         D#m            E     D#m
  How d'you know if you're going mad?
Daughter:
F#             G#m
Look at me I'm lonely
Father:
Ddim           Bb
Look at me I'm sad

Verse

Father:
F          G/F
 I'm not denying
F           G/F
 I could be trying
F         G/F
 A little harder
   F         G/F          [F]
To deal with some of this stuff
Daughter:
F              G/F
 Know what I'm thinking?
F               G/F
 Less drugs and drinking
F       G/F
 No cigarettes
          F      G           [Am]
And you’d feel a little less rough

Outro

Father:
Am G/B        C
     Is that enough?
   Dm        C
My life is absurd
              G
I'm living it upside down
       Am       G/B        C
Like a vampire, working at night
Dm           C
Sleeping all day
             G
A dad with a girl who knows
     [ F | C/E |
He's gay
Both:
Dm                C
  Can you love me anyway?
