{Verse 1}
G
When I was young my father said,
G
There ain’t truth in the stars boy its all in your head
G
Don't waste your time on rhythm and rhyme.
G
Don’t listen to the beat boy you know they're lies.

Ohhh
G
My father he was a very wise man.
Em
There were just some things that he couldn’t understand.
C
He told a lie when he took her hand.
G
And he broke a promise that he couldn’t mend.


{Chorus}
G
Lord, I’m waiting for ya,
Em
Days are getting harder,
C
Dreams ain’t getting farther,
G                       Dsus      D       G
Blame it on my old time father.


{Verse 2}
G
But to run away and never look back,
G
Well the story I told is a matter of fact.
G
Don’t need no life that would hold me down.
G
Didn’t want no father I would need to make proud.

Ohhh
G
He told me how to be a man.
Em
And to face my trials with a firmer stand.
C
Cuz i spent my years in a different way.
G
And he gave you rules that you couldn’t obey.


{Chorus}
G
Lord, Im waiting for ya,
Em
Days are getting harder,
C
Dreams ain’t getting farther,
G                       Dsus      D       G 
Blame it on my old time father.
G
Lord, Im waiting for ya,
Em
Days are getting harder,
C
Dreams ain’t getting farther,
G                       Dsus      D       G 
Blame it on my old time father.
