[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer]
   C
The pipe takes me to heaven
   Em
The pint puts me in jail
         F                                     C
So I'll stick with the Vimto, it's safer in my head

Print my progress often
    Em
And keep the wolves at bay
     F                         Am
I've been down in a ripple for darker days


[Chorus]
    Dm              Em              Am
The wiser words are never more than free
           F                                       G
So let the snow prints melt, and keep the sun with me
                   C
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family

I'm growing up, ye' see
                                               F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
                   C
I'm working on the family tree


[Verse 2]
C
I'll stay right with the program
            Em
And pull my weight indeed
    F                                                  C
I'm pulling weeds in autumn, should keep the birds in feed
                                 Em
I'll write my jolly jingles, and document my time
F                                          Am
Mixing up the tinkle pills, and children's rhymes
Dm                  Em             Am
The wiser words are never far from me (far from me)
             F                                       G
And let the shadows dance, and filled of course with glee


[Chorus]
Am                    C
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family

I'm growing up, ye' see
                                               F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
                          C
I'm working on the family tree

'Cause I'm working on me, and the family

I'm growing up, ye' see
                                               F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
                    Am
You'll never get no bother from me
           F       G             C
'Cause I'm working on the family tree


[Refrain]
         Am
She said she won't marry me
   G              F
It saddens me, oh no
                   Am
She said she won't marry me
   G              F
It saddens me, oh no
                   Am
She said she won't marry me
   G              F
It saddens me, oh no


[Chorus]

So I'm working on me, and the family

I'm growing up, ye' see?

I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me

I'm working on the family tree
C
'Cause I'm working on me, and the family

I'm growing up, ye' see
                                               F
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
                          C
I'm working on the family tree

'Cause I'm working on me, and the family

I'm growing up, ye' see?
    G                                          Am
I'm putting bottles of whisky and vodka behind me
 F                             Am
You'll never get the better of me
    F                     Am
I'm working on the family tree

[Outro]
Am                  G
Do you really wanna go home?
F
Do you really wanna stay here?
Am                     G
Do you wanna keep your head up?
Fmaj7
Should you be the one who lives in fear?
