Hurt Feelings

 
   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 
We're walkin' 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 will perpetually believe 
         Em                                          C 
That any man who tells me that he loves me is hidin' somethin' up his sleeve 


 
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 



          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 greyin', gettin' older by the day 
            D                                       G 
And my eyes tell me that he's harmless despite what my heart has to say 


 
   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 



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 it back home but I can't help forget her 


 
  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 off the illusion 
            Em                 C 
Oh, I can't find your point of view 
            C              G              Em              C 
Oh, I can't bear to fake a smile when you walk into the room 



       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 it back home but I can't help 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 it back home but I can't help forget her
