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
