What Your Father Says

C  G D

[Verse 1]
        C
Is it a bad time to tell you I love you
          G                 D
When I'm watching you walk away?
   C
A bad time to tell you I need you
           G                D
When he's made up his mind again

          C       G  D
Don't be cruel to me
       C       G  D
All I do is believe

[Verse 2]
             C
That it's a bad time to tell you to trust me
           G                D
When I'm getting my story straight
   C
A bad time to kick up a fuss
           G               D
When it's only ever me to blame

           C          D
You're confused about me

[Pre-chorus]
          Am
All the rumours getting through
           D
'Cause he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby

[Chorus]
  C                         G  D
Forget what your father says
              C                       G  D
I'm throwing stones at your windowpane
         C
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
     G                D
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
 Am                          D
Says that you're wrong for me
D                         C   G D     C   G D
Forget what your father says


[Verse 3]
           C
Is it the good times, sneak in the back door
          G                  D
When your dad's at work all day?
   G
A good time to lean in and kiss you
          G               D
When he's not up in your face

          C            D
You're confused about me


[Pre-chorus]
         Am
All the rumours getting through
            D
Because he heard that I'm bad news, oh baby


[Chorus]
  C                         G  D
Forget what your father says
              C                       G  D
I'm throwing stones at your windowpane
         C
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
     G                D
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
 Am                          D
Says that you're wrong for me
D                         C   G D     C   G D
Forget what your father says


[Bridge]
  C                             G                D
Told me he don't like my hair, he don't like my music
   C                        G              D
Told me that I better run otherwise he'll lose it
     C                              D
And if I want his daughter's love I better start praying

   Am                          C D
So all that I keep saying to her


[Chorus]
  C*                        G*  D*
Forget what your father says
              C                       G  D
I'm throwing stones at your windowpane
         C
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
     G                D
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
 Am                          D
Says that you're wrong for me


[Outro]
  C*                        G*  D*
Forget what your father says
              C                       G  D
I'm throwing stones at your windowpane
         C
'Cause a boy like me and a girl like you
     G                D
Got no degrees and a lot to prove
 Am                         D
Says that you're wrong for me
    C                        G D      C  G D
Forget what your father says
D  C                       G D        C  G D
Forget what your father says
D  C                         C
Forget what your father says
