D         F#           G         D
Remember walking with you by my side
D            F#      G            D
You were my Papa and I was your pride
D              F#         G           D
Now I've got children and I'm going grey
D            F#             G           D
No time for talking, I got nothin' to say

Those Sunday dinners that we had at home
Now I got a house and I've got friends of my own
We can't do tomorrow what we did yesterday
It's best that we're going our separate ways, ok

Chorus:
D             F#         G          D
How is your rheumatism (nothing to say)
D              F#          G         D
How are your chillblains (nothing to say)
D           F#      G         D
How's Aunty Mabel (nothing to say)
D       F#          G           D    F
So far Papa, I got nothin' to say, OK

Bm                    A
Those happy days we spent together
F#                          Bm
We thought our world would never change
Bm       A
How the days go by
F#                            Bm G
And things will never be the same

You keep pretending that everything's fine
So you make small talk to help pass the time
But all the words that you spit from your face
Add up to nothin' -- you got nothin' to say

How are those noisy neighbors next door?
I'll have to go soon 'cuz I'm getting bored
I gotta be home early to see a good play
So far, papa, I got nothin' to say

Chorus:
How is your life insurance? (Nothing to say.)
How is your trade union? (Nothing to say.)
How's your independence? (Nothing to say.)
So far, papa, I got nothin' to say
