The Obvious Child Cifras

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

Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself  
 
     D    G       C    G    D              C
 How it's strange that some rooms are like cages  
 
    D    G   C    G    D
 Sonny's yearbook from high school  
 
   C
Is down from the shelf  
 
D       C G  D                  C
And he id-ly thumbs through the pages  
 
      G    Am
 Some have died  
 
           G
 Some have fled from themselves  
 
    C    G    D    G    D  G   D
 Or struggled from here to get there  
 
 C     G  C    G D          C
 Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls  
 
         G    C       G   D              C
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair  
 
 
                          G
Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride

I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more  
 
C           G       D                 D
  I don't expect to sleep through the night

Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie

But I say   
 
C                     F   C
  the cross is in the ballpark

 Why deny the obvious    child?
