[D]Dear [G]friend, it's been a [D]long, long while
I've been [F]meaning to write you but it was [C]never my style
But [G]what is these [C]days [F]now I'm a [C]family man.

[G].....[C].....[G]

[G]Do you blow [D]sincere kisses to [Am]mistresses [Em]Secrets on [C]afternoons?
Do you [D]wear your disguises, [Am]feign the surp[Em]rises,
At the [C]questions she [Em]asks when she [Am]dares to accuse?
Does your [D]past lie under a [Am]dustsheet,[Em]
In the [C]corner of a [G]musty [D]garage?
[G]That's where I [C]keep mine now, [F]now I'm a [C]family man.

[G].....[C].....[G]

[D]Are your horses still [Am]running when the bookies shops [Em]close?
[D]Is the band still tog[Am]ether, did you ever get on the road?[Em]
[D]We chased the same women, we [Am]drank the same [Em]beer.
We [C]came as a pair[G] when we [D]ran around here
How [G]are you these [C]days, [F]now you're a [C]family man?

[G].....[C].....[G][D]
[G].....[D].....[F].....[C].....[G].....[C].....[F].....[C]

[G].....[D].....[F].....[C].....[G].....[C].....[F].....[C]
[G].....[C].....[G]

[D]Buy a drink for the [Am]boy in my [Em]place at the [C]end of the bar
Give my [D]regards to Nina, [Am]slam a tequila,[Em]
And I'll [C]write you at [Em]Christmas or I'll [Am]send you a card,
But if you [D]pass by you're welcome to [Am]drop in and [Em]see me 
'cos it's un[C]likely I'll [G]be round your [D]way, 
'cos I'm [G]happy to [C]be where I [F]am, living [C]life as a [G]family man

.....[C].....[G]

[D]Do you still have your [Am]leathers, or did you give them away?[Em]
[D]Do you still dream of [Am]Joni and sidewalk caf[Em]es?
Is your [D]Norton still running, is the old [Am]man still alive?[Em]
Do you [C]still get to Dalkei[G]th, is your [D]rent still as high?
But I [G]suppose you've a [C]mortgage, [F]now you're a [C]family man.

[G].....[C].....[G]...[D]

Dear [G]friend, it's been a [D]long, long while
I've been [F]meaning to write you but it was [C]never my style
But [G]what is these [C]days [F]now I'm a [C]family man.
[G].....[C].....[F]now I'm A [C]family man
[G].....[C].....[F]now I'm A [C]family man...[G]
