How it's (A flat major) strange that some (E flat major) rooms
are like (D flat major) cages
Sonny's (A flat major) yearbook from (E flat major) high school
Is (D flat major) down from the shelf
And he (A flat major) idly thumbs (E flat major) through its (D flat major) pages
Some have died (B flat major)

Or (D flat major) struggled from (A flat major) here to get (E flat major) there

Runs his (A flat major) hands
through his (E flat major) thinning brown (D flat major) hair

Well, I'm accustomed to a (A flat major) smoother ride
Or (E flat major) maybe I'm a (A flat major) dog who's (E flat major) lost its (A flat major) bite
I don't expect to be treated
(D flat major) like a fool no (G flat/Db) more
(D flat major) I don't ex (A flat major) pect to (E flat major) sleep the (A flat major) night
Some people say a (A flat major) lie is (E flat major) just a (A flat major) lie
But I say (D flat major) "The cross is in the (G flat/Db) ball park (D flat major)
Why deny
the (G flat/Db) obvi (D flat major) ous (A flat major) child?"
