G Bm
Time's gonna make you a man someday
Em D C Bm D
And you won't want to go out and play with your friends

You'll just sit at home and watch news at ten

And he picks up the paper and appears to be quite serious
Am C D
And you smile at him and agree 'cause he's your old man
[Chorus]

But still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you)
Em D
You make no sense to me

Still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you)
Em D Em G D
When the time comes, I'll disagree with your policy, your policy
[Verse 2]
G Bm
And you get home from work, about half-past six
Em D C Bm D
You've been working real hard, and you feel real sick with the whole world
G Bm
And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up
Em D C Bm D
And your mum don't like it 'cause you messed her up for the evening
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C G
So, you pick up the paper and appear to be quite serious
Am C D
And you smile at him and agree 'cause he's your old man

But still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you)

You make no sense to me

When the time comes, I'll disagree with your policy, your policy

Your policy, your policy

G Bm
Time's gonna make you a man someday
Em D
And you won't want to go out and play
G Bm
You'll just sit at home and watch news at ten
Em D
And the pubs'll be closed and you won't have been
G Bm
And you get home from work, about half-past six
Em D
You've been working real hard, and you feel real sick
G Bm
And your dinner's in the oven and it's all dried up
Em D
And your mum don't like it 'cause you messed her up
G Bm
But you don't wanna sit tight, you don't wanna play it cool
Em D
You don't want a whole life like the first day of school
G Bm
And I wanna fight wars, and I wanna die young
Em D
So, don't keep saying "Like father, like son!"

I said you make no sense to a boy like me
G Bm
I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you)
Em D
Still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you)

Still, I can't hear you (Still, I can't hear you)
