C                                                        F 
He'd get home at 5:30, fix his drink and sit down in his chair
G                                                            C
Pick a fight with mama, complain about us kids getting in his hair
C                                                                         F
At night he'd sit alone and smoke, I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame
         G                                                           C
Now that same frown's in my mirror, I got my daddy's blood inside my veins


Chorus:
     C           F
Fish swim, Birds fly
        G           C 
Daddies yell, Mamas cry
C               F     F/E  Dm  G
Old men sit and think
  C 
I drink


Chicken TV dinner, 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high
A beer to wash it down with then another, a little whiskey on the side
It's not so bad alone here, it don't bother me that every night's the same
I don't need another lover hanging 'round, trying to make me change


Chorus


Bridge:
  Em
I know
       F
What I am
      Em
But I don’t
F      G        
Give a damn

Chorus
