Very Thing Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

CThe bar closes early on theAm Sabbath day

 SoF me and my kid we hit theG park to play

 Then it'dC start to rain so we'd walkAm home again

 HeF asked why he was born

 I don't knowG what to say

 I Cdon't feel guilty and IAm don't feel sad

 ThisF mother fucking life is theG best he's had

 I said I'veC been there sonny and itAm ain't that bad

 I took myF hits from the shits back whenG I was a lad

Chorus

 So long agFo and even though IAm tried

 I couldn't make himC see the life he hadG cast in front of meF

 And even thoughAm I cried I couldn't make him beC the very thingG I needed

 (Same chord progression of C, Am, F, G)

His mother'd make a scene when I come home late

She look like she's dying but she's twenty eight

I never loved that whore I never will no more

Except for a month back in '84

The jam was playing and my heart stood still gazing at a shadow on the window sill

Chorus

 (Chord progression of F, Am, C, G)

So long ago and even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man

she thought I'd be

And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed

And even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be

And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed

(This is the part I've not figured out)

Could she be the very thing I needed?

Could she be the very thing

the very thing

CPush yourself away from yourG one best friend

AmWho's going to love you when youF reach the end?

Who will?

Who will?
