G G            
Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
D D G G D D G G
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
D D G G C C F F
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
C C G G D D D D
I don't expect to sleep through the night
D D C C G G D D G G
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
D D G G C C
But I say why
F F C C
Why deny the obvious child?
F F C C G G
Why deny the obvious child?


D D G G C C
And in remembering a road sign
G G D D C C G G D D G G C C
I am remembering a girl when I was young
F F C C G G D D G G
And we said These songs are true
D D G G
These days are ours
D D G G
These tears are free
D D G G
And hey
C C F F C C
The cross is in the ballpark
F F C C G G
The cross is in the ballpark



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


G G
Doh, doh, doh, doh
Doh, doh, doh, doh


D D C C G G
Well, I've been waking up at sunrise
D D G G D D G G
I've been following the light across my room
D D G G C C F F C C G G D D
I watch the night receive the room of my day
G G D D C C G G D D G G
Some people say the sky is just the sky
D D G G
But I say
C C F F C C
Why deny the obvious child?
F F C C
Why deny the obvious child?



G G C/G C/G G G
Mm---------


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


G G
Well, I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
D D G G D D G G
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
D D G G C C F F
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
C C G G D D D D
I don't expect to sleep through the night
D D C C G G D D G G
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
D D G G
But I say
C C F F C C
the cross is in the ballpark
F F C C G G
Why deny the obvious child?
