Very Thing

C                          Am
The bar closes early on the Sabbath 
day
  F                        G
So me and my kid we hit the park to 
play
         C                         
Then it'd start to rain so we'd 
 Am
walk home again
  F
He asked why he was born
            G
I don't know what to say

  C                      Am
I don't feel guilty and I don't feel
 sad
    F                          G
This mother fucking life is the best
 he's had
           C                       
I said I've been there sonny and it
Am
 ain't that bad
         F                         
I took my hits from the shits back 
    G
when I was a lad

Chorus:
          F                  Am
So long ago and even though I tried
                   C               
I couldn't make him see the life he
    G                   F
 had cast in front of me
               Am                  
And even though I cried I couldn't 
           C              G
make him be the very thing 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


C                           G
Push yourself away from your one 
best friend
Am                              F
Who's going to love you when you 
reach the end?
Who will?
Who will?
