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 the kids getting in his hair

At night he'd sit alone and smoke, I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame

Now that same frown's in my mirror, I got my daddy's blood inside my veins


[Chorus]

Fish swim, Birds fly

Daddies yell, Mamas cry

Old men sit and think
  C 
I drink

C                                             F
Chicken TV dinner, 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high
G                                                             C
A beer to wash it down with then another, some whiskey on the side

It's not so bad alone here, it don't bother me that every night's the same
        G                                                    C
I don't need another lover hanging 'round, trying to make me change


[Chorus]

Fish swim, Birds fly
       G              C 
Lovers leave, bye and bye

Old men sit and think
  C 
I drink


[Bridge]

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


[Chorus]

Fish swim, Birds fly
        G           C 
Daddies yell, Mamas cry
C               F    Em  Dm  C  G
Old men sit and think
