Em7 A

Intro: 2x only bass then 2x with guitar.
verse: Em7, A

[1)]Well he'Em7s not necessarily trying to say that he minds it
But somAeone plays evil tricks on that kid
Well he'sEm7 not necessarily trying to say god can't be trusted
But somAeone plays evil tricks on that kid
And certaEm7in situations scream for deviations
But somAehow he always gets stuck in the middle
Of thEm7is and that and man he should try less
every timeA he's rejected man he loses affection

Ref.
But don'Ct we all, don't we just got to give a little time
A D Em7, D
Maybe give a friend a call instead of making him confused
A D Em7, D
What a terrible thing for you to do
A D Em7, D
What an awful thing for you to say
AWhat a terrible thing fDor you to relayA

4x bassriff

[2)]Well I know some people's they got a little less than nothing
But 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

Ref.

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
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you
Confused
What a terrible thing for you to do
What an awful thing for you to say
What a terrible thing for you to relay
