Keep The Family Close Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
It's a little chilly out there
How you can stand there is beyond me
[C][C][C][B]

[Verse 1]
[Am]All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't [C]have anymore
How do you not check on me
when [F]things go wrong?
Guess I should've tried
to keep my family [E]closer, much closer
[Am]All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't [C]have anymore
Guess it's what they say you need [F]family for
'Cause I can't depend on you [E]anymore

[Verse 2]
[Am]Always saw you for
what you could've been
[E]Ever since you met me
like [F]when Chrysler made that one car
that looked just like the Bentley
I always saw you
for what you [Am]could've been
And even when it's [E]business
with you it's [F]personal again
I knew you be[Dm]fore you made ends meet
And now we're [Am]meeting out end
And it's [E]all because you chose [F]a side
You're supposed to put your pride aside
and ride for me
Guess it [Am]wasn't time (yeah)
And of course [E]you went
and chose a side that [F]wasn't [Am]mine

[Verse 3]
[Am]You're so predictable, I hate people like you
Kennedy Road taught me not
to trust [E]people like you
[F]How you supposed to figure out
what I'm going through?
You can't even figure out
what's going [Dm]on with you
[Am]You judge me 'fore you met me,
yeah, it figures
I make all the players anthems
for the [E]real niggas
[F]With my dad out in Tennessee
is where I belong
Out here in L.A.,
I don't know what's [Dm]going on
[Am](yeah) I don't know what's going on
And it's [E]all because you chose [F]a side
You're supposed to put your pride aside
and [Dm]ride for me
Guess it [Am]wasn't time (yeah)
And of course [E]you went
and chose a side that [F]wasn't mine
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Am]You sit and you pray
hoping that the stars align
My luck is a sure thing
'cause I'm [E]living right
When [F]I needed you,
you couldn't give me any advice
But you always had
something to say every [Dm]other time
[Am]Everybody that I met on the way
tries to get in the way
I'm fooding and serving 'em [E]all
like I work for minimum wage
[F]Someone up there there must just love
testing my patience
Someone up there [Dm]must be
in need of some entertainment
[Am]Forgiveness for your ways
If I ever loved ya, I'll [E]always love ya,
that's how I was raised
[F]Same way I'm right here still feeling a way
Same way I'm [Dm]realizing on a day to day that

[Verse 5]
[Am]All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't have any[E]more
How do you not check on me
when [F]things go wrong?
Guess I should've tried
to keep my family [Dm]closer, much closer
[Am]All of my "let's just be friends"
Are friends I don't have anymore
[E]Guess it's what they say
you need your [F]family for
'Cause I can't depend on you anymore

[Outro 1]
Much closer
[Am][E][F][Dm]
[Am][E][F][Dm]
[Am][E][F]
Any time people wanna start problems
It's like "for real, are you dumb?"
You know who mans are?
[Am]Not afraid of no gyal heart man
And I'm not afraid of no cyattie
And I'm not afraid
of [E]no waste yute neither
So [F]anybody who want it can get it
Seh feh
[Am][Dm]
