Chords with lyrics
G+G
Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
D MajorD G+G C majorC FF
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
C majorC G+G D MajorD D MajorD
I don't expect to sleep through the night
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
D MajorD G+G C majorC
But I say why
FF C majorC
Why deny the obvious child?
FF C majorC G+G
Why deny the obvious child?
D MajorD G+G C majorC
And in remembering a road sign
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC
I am remembering a girl when I was young
FF C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
And we said These songs are true
D MajorD G+G
These days are ours
D MajorD G+G
These tears are free
D MajorD G+G
And hey
C majorC FF C majorC
The cross is in the ballpark
FF C majorC G+G
The cross is in the ballpark
We had a lot of fun
D MajorD C majorC
We had a lot of money
G+G D MajorD C majorC
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him Sonny
D MajorD G+G
Sonny gets married and moves away
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
C majorC D MajorD
Sonny gets sunnier
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Day by day by day by day
G+G
Doh, doh, doh, doh
Doh, doh, doh, doh
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Well, I've been waking up at sunrise
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
I've been following the light across my room
D MajorD G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G D MajorD
I watch the night receive the room of my day
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Some people say the sky is just the sky
D MajorD G+G
But I say
C majorC FF C majorC
Why deny the obvious child?
FF C majorC
Why deny the obvious child?
G+G C/GC/G G+G

C/GC/G G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Sonny's yearbook from high school
C majorC
Is down from the shelf
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC
And he id-ly thumbs through the pages
AbAb BbmBbm
Some have died
G+G
Some have fled from themselves
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Or struggled from here to get there
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
G+G
Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
D MajorD G+G C majorC FF
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
C majorC G+G D MajorD D MajorD
I don't expect to sleep through the night
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
D MajorD G+G
But I say
C majorC FF C majorC
the cross is in the ballpark
FF C majorC G+G
Why deny the obvious child?
