[Verse 1]
C G
My dad is almost home, I can't tell time yet but I know
Em C
Because the air becomes electric and my mother cleans the stove
C G
He'll walk in through the door and both my eyes will find the floor
Em C
And I will search my brain to find something I might get yelled at for
C G
He'll come in with a frown and tell me, "Sit your ass right down"
Em C
Or he might get his kicks from jokin' that he's just playin' around
C G
And in a few years I will leave, but I'll perpetually believe
Em C
That any man who says he loves me is hidin' somethin' up his sleeve
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
C G
The other girls date older guys and wear their T-shirts late at night
D G
But everything I own that's oversize belongs to me, it's mine
C G
And I don't have souvenirs of all the earliest of years
D G
You know my father isn't dead, but it don't feel like he's still here
C G
It's strange now that he's grey and getting older by the day
D G
And my eyes tell me that he's harmless despite what my heart has to say
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 D
And I'm stiffer than a board, lighter than a feather
C G
And that girl will be a problem only if you let her
Em D
And I left her back home but I cannot forget her
[Bridge]
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 up the illusion
Em C
Or confirm your point of view
C G Em C
Oh, I can't bear to fake a smile when you walk into the room
[Chorus]
C G
'Cause blood is thick but water is forever
D G
And I'm stiffer than a board, lighter than a feather
C G
And that girl will be a problem only if you let her
D G
And I left her back home but I cannot 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
C G
'Cause blood is thick but water is forever
Em D
And I'm stiffer than a board, lighter than a feather
C G
And that girl will be a problem only if you let her
Em D
And I left her back home but I cannot forget her
[Outro]
