GUITAR CHORDS
Guitar Intro
Em* A repeat
Well he's not necessarily trying to say that he minds it
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid
Well he's not necessarily trying to say god can't be trusted
But someone plays evil tricks on that kid
As certain situations scream for deviations
But somehow we always get stuck in the middle
Of this and that and then he should try less
Every time he's rejected then he loses affection
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo
What an awful thing for you to say-eee
em(1)
What a terrible thing for you to relay
(bass intro and drums)
Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing
Never still find some to spare
And other people got more than they could use
But they don't share
And some people got problems man
They got awful complications
Other people got perfect situations
With no provocation
But don't we all, don't we just got to give a little time
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo
What an awful thing for you to say-eee
What a terrible thing for you
Confused
What a terrible thing for you to do-ooo
What an awful thing for you to say-eee
em(1)
What a terrible thing for you to relay
(bass intro and drums)
