What Happened To You, Son? Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][Am][G][E][E]
[Eb]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]Sonny,
you're a mystery
All your precious words don't
mean so [C]much to me
[Gm]You were on the side of us
All your thoughts aligned with my
[C]deep poetry
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 2]
[Eb]
And you would ac[Dm]company[Eb]
Every weekend [Dm]walk up and [Eb]wish
All the days of [Dm]chastity[Eb]
All the nights that [F]teenager [D]prayed

[Verse 3]
[Gm]I try not to criticize
You must go the way you're
at and [C]bring on flight
[Gm]Maybe you're a victim too
Maybe this has happened 'cause we
[C]all love you [Dm]too m[Eb]uch

[Verse 4]
What is it you [Dm]armed me for?
[Eb]You convinced me I was[Dm] hopeless
[Eb]All your wordy metap[Dm]hors[Eb]
All your well worn [F]sexless [D]posture
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][G][Eb]

[Verse 5]
[Gm]Holier than Jesus Christ
They came a long way just
[C]to touch your gun
[Gm]But you never turn away
Him or her are good and gay or
[C]black or [Dsus4]brown[D]

[Verse 6]
[Eb]So convincing for [Dm]a while
[Eb]Mighty was your stac[Dm]k of pages[Eb]
Every word you [Dm]ever [Eb]spoke
Was condemned by [F]government
[D]agents

[Interlude 2]
[Gm][C][Gm][C]
[Eb]

[Verse 7]
I don't [Cm]mind [Eb](mind, mind, mind)
It's hard to be [Cm]kind
[C](kind, kind, kind)[Edim]
[C]Everybody finds [Bb]a wa[F]y[D]

[Verse 8]
[Gm]Brittle words, my sympathy
I was so obsessed with doing
[C]things my own way
[Gm]Then one day you realized
I don't stand for anything,
I'm [C]fading away
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 9]
[Eb]
I remember [Dm]your bad [Eb]dream
You patrolled with [Dm]that most confidence
[Eb]When I finally gave [Dm]myse[Eb]lf
You respond with [Gm]melting patience

[Outro 1]
