[Verse 1]

G D

Papa had a wife and kids, he kept them on a leash

Em C

and he bid them all to do his every deed.

G D

When he was a kid he was treated just the same

Em C

so he hid his feelings from his family.

[Pre-Chorus]

G D

Lost as an island out at sea,

Em D

resistant to the gentle waves of empathy, yeah!

[Chorus]

C D Em

Papa and his family always on parade

C D Em

Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade.

G D

But time will tell

C D Em

as their world crumbles to hell.

What they created

C D G Em

was a family story no one will tell

C D G Em

It's a photo album too terrible

C D G Em

But the pride and the pallor continue to swell

C D Em

And the matron silently prays.

[Pre-Verse]

[Verse 2]

G D

Junior resented the tradition they upheld

Em C

And it ate him up inside most every day

G D

Silence was golden and they kept him to his word

Em C

So bewildered when he finally ran away

[Pre-Chorus]

G D

Oh, obligations never cease

Em D

Oblivious of the ways to give his soul some peace, yeah!

[Chorus]

C D Em

Papa and his family always on parade

C D Em

Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade.

But time will tell

As their world crumbles to hell.

What they created

was a family story no one will tell

C D G Em

It's a photo album too terrible

C D G Em

But the pride and the pallor continue to swell

C D Em

As the matron silently prays.

[Bridge]

"Get me out of here, someone's got to save the day."

Yeah lost as an island out at sea,

Em D

Resistant to the gentle waves of empathy, yeah!

[Final Chorus]

C D Em

Papa and his family always on parade

C D Em

Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade.

C D G Em

It's just a sick calamity that fatherhood made,

G D

But time will tell

C D Em

as their world crumbles to hell.

What they created

C D G Em

was a family story no one will tell

C D G Em

It's a photo album too terrible

C D G Em

But the pride and the pallor continue to swell

C D Em

As the matron silently prays.
