Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Well I'm accustomed to the [G]smooth ride
Or [D]maybe I'm a [G]dog who's lost its bite
I don't [D]expect [G]to be treat[C]ed
like a fool no [F]more[C]
I don't ex[G]pect to [D]sleep through the [G]night
Some people say a [G]lie's [D]a lie's a[G] lie
But I say, [C]"Why?
Why deny the [F]obvious [C]child?
Why deny the [F]obvious [C]child?"[G]
And in [D]re membering a

[Verse 2]
[G]road sign
I'm re[D]membering a [G]girl when [D]I was y[G]oung
[C]And[F] we[C] said,[G]
"These [D]songs are [G]true
These [D]days are [G]ours
These [D]tears are [G]free," and hey
[C]The cross is in the bal[F]lpar[C]k
The cross is in the [F]ball[C]park[G]

[Bridge 1]
We [G]had a lot of fun
Had a lot of [G]money[C]
We [G]had a little son
We thought we'd call him [G]Sonny[C]
Sonny gets [D]married and [G]moves away
[C]Sonny has a [D]baby and [G]bills to pay
[C]Sonny gets [D]sunnier [G]day by day
by [C]day by [D]day[G]

[Interlude 1]
(Bum [G]bum, bum [G]bum)
(Bum [G]bum, bum [G]bum)

[Verse 3]
Well, I've been waking up at [G]sunrise
I've been [D]following the [G]light a[D]cross my [G]room
I watch the [C]night receive
[F]the room of [C]my [G]day[D][G]
Some people say the [G]sky is [D]just the [G]sky
But I [C]say "Why deny the [F]obvious [C]child?
Why deny the [F]obvious [C]child?"[G]
[Am]Mm-

[Interlude 2]
[G]hmm mm-[Am] hmm[G]
[Am][G][Am][G]
[Am]Sonny

[Bridge 2]
[G]sits by his [D]window
and [C]thinks to himself
How it's [G]strange that some [D]rooms
are like [C]cages
Sonny's [G]yearbook from [D]high school
Is [C]down from the shelf
And he [G]idly [D]thumbs through its [C]pages
Some have [A]died
Some have [G]fled from themselves
Or [C]struggled from [G]here to get [D]there
[C]Sonny [G]wanders be[D]yond his [C]interior walls
Runs his [G]hands
through his [D]thinning brown [C]hair

[Verse 4]
Well, I'm accustomed to a [G]smoother ride
Or [D]maybe I'm a [G]dog who's [D]lost its [G]bite
I don't expect to be treated
[C]like a fool no [F]more
[C]I don't expec[G]t to sle[D]ep the nig[G]ht
Some people say a [G]lie is [D]just a [G]lie
But I [C]say "The cross is in the [F]ball[C]park
Why deny
the [F]obvi[C]ous [G]child?"
