Very Thing by Stars
Very Thing
played in the key of C#
can play with a capo on 1st and play chords in ( )
C#-Bbmin-Ebmin-F#-G#
( C-Bmin-Emin-F-G)*only play the F during first line of each verse)
The bar closes early on the Sabbath day
C#-Bmin-Emin-G)
So me and my kid we hit the park to play
Then it'd start to rain so we'd walk home again
He asked why he was born
I don't know what to say
I don't feel guilty and I don't feel sad
This mother fucking life is the best he's had
I said I've been there sonny and it ain't that bad
I took my hits from the shits back when I was a lad
F#-Bbmin-C#-G#
So long ago and even though I tried
I couldn't make him see the life he had cast in front of me
And even though I cried I couldn't make him be the very thing I needed
(C#-Bbmin-Ebmin-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
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
F#-Bbmin-Fmin-C# (this isn't right but try something in the key of C#)
Could she be the very thing I needed?
Could she be the very thing
the very thing
C#-G#-Bbmin-F#
(C-G-Bmin-F)
Push yourself away from your one best friend
Who's going to love you when you reach the end?
Who will?
Who will?
