[Verse 1]
G Em
Here's to the dads that don't admit that they're wrong
C D
I happen to have a good one, so he's not in this song
G Em
I hope you fucking know you treat your daughters like shit
C D
And then they come to me and cry because they have to live with it
G Em
You should learn from someone kinder, someone wiser than yourself
C D
She is painting masterpieces while you're touching yourself
[Chorus]
G Em C
And we are the promises that we didn't keep
G Bm C
We are the promises that we didn't keep
G Em C
And we are the sum of the parts we don't wanna see
G D G
We are the sum of the parts we don't wanna see
[Verse 2]
G Em
Here's to the lobbyists who don't care about death
C D
They think they can beat it with the gold on their neck
G Em
If the city's on fire and they talk their way out
C D
Like diamonds and smokestacks and a shit-eating mouth
G Em
A toast to the workers we keep from coming to their senses
C D
And a knife under the pillow in case they want higher wages
[Chorus]
G Em C
And we are the promises that we didn't keep
G Bm C
We are the promises that we didn't keep
G Em C
And we are the sum of the parts we don't wanna see
G D G
We are the sum of the parts we don't wanna see
[Verse 3]
G Em
And welcome to the main event the one you've all been waiting for
C D
The writer turns the pen on his emaciated neck
G Em C D
The fact is I'm a sad little person with huge impossible dreams
G Em
And maybe if I wasn't such a lazy dreamy fuck
C D
Then I would find a sense of purpose or just something to believe
G Em
I don't text, I don't call and I certainly don't write
C D
Masochistically watching people burn out like stars in the night
[Chorus]
G Em C
And we are the promises that we didn't keep
G Bm C
We are the promises that we didn't keep
G Em C
And we are the sum of the parts we don't wanna see
G D G
We are the sum of the parts we don't wanna see
