The Obvious Child Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well I'm accustomed to [G]the smooth
ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be [C]treated
like a fool no [F]more
[C]I don't expec[G]t to
[D]sleep through the night
[G]Some peo[D]ple say a lie[G]'s a lie's a l[D]ie
[G]But I say, [C]"why
Why deny the [F]obvi[C]ous child?
Why deny the [F]obvious [C]child?"
[G]

[Verse 2]
And in re[D]membering a [G]road sign
I'm re[D]membering a [G]girl [D]when
I was [G]young[C]
[F]And[C] we said,
[G]"th[D]ese songs are tru[G]e
[D]These days [G]are ours
These [D]tears are [G]free"
And [C]hey
The cross is in [F]the [C]ballpark
The cross is in [F]the [C]bal[G]lpark

[Verse 3]
We had a lot of fun
Had a lot [D]of money[C]
We [G]had a little son and we thought
we'd call him [D]Sonny[C]
Sonny gets [D]married and [G]moves away
[C]Sonny has a [D]baby and bills to [G]pay
[C]Sonny gets [D]sunnier
Day by [G]day by day [C]by [D]day

[Interlude 1]
[G]
Well, [D]I've been waking [G]up at sunrise

[Verse 4]
I've been fol[D]lowing the
light across my [G]room
I [D]watch [C]the night receive the
[F]room [C]of my [G]day[D][G]
Some people say the sky is [D]just the sky
But I [G]say[C]
"Why deny the [F]obvious [C]child?
Why deny the [F]ob [C]vious child?"

[Interlude 2]
[G][C]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][D][G]
[C]Sonny sits

[Verse 5]
[G]by [C]his[G] win[D]dow
and [C]thinks to himself
How [G]it's strange that [D]some
rooms are [C]like cages
Sonny's [G]yearbook from [D]high school
Is [C]down on the shelf
And [G]he idly [D]thumbs
through [C]the pages
Some have [Am]died
Some have [G]fled from themselves
Or [C]struggled from [G]here [D]to
[G]get [D]there
[C]Sonny [G]wanders bey
[D]ond his inter[C]ior walls
Runs his [G]hands [C]through [G]his
[D]thinning brown [C]hair

[Verse 6]
Well, I'm accustomed to a [G]smoother ride
Or maybe I'm [D]a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated
[C]like a fool no [F]more
I don't ex[D]pect to sleep the night
[G]Some people say a [D]lie is just a [G]lie
[D]But I [G]say[C]
"The cross is in [F]the [C]ballpark
Why deny the [F]obvi[C]ous [G]child?"
