Terrible Thing Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The parking lot is [A]rammed
with shotgun [D]pickup trucks
At [G]the Jones' Rubber plant
where all the [D]guys end up
Beer- [G]drink[Gm]ing boy scouts liv
[G]ing life [D]like they ain't stuck
On these [Bm]quicksand [A]streets
with their girls in a [G]sling
I'm in [Bm]my bedroom on[A] the verge
of a terrible [D]thing

[Verse 2]
[D]'Round here, we all take up our
[A]cross and hang on [D]His holy name
But [G]the cards that I was dealt will
get you thrown [D]out of the game
Hey [G]momma, can't you see your boy
is wrapped up [D]in the strangle silk
Of this cob[Bm]web t[A]own
where culture is [Bm]king?[G]
I'm [Bm]in my bedroom on[A] the
verge of a terrible [D]thing

[Verse 3]
[D]
I close my [G]eyes [Bm]and
think of the [A]water[D]
Out at the Salt [G]Creek [D]whe[Bm]n
[D]I was y[A]oung
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Down at Old Mill [A]Park,
half [D]the town's in tow
[G]To crown the Bathing
Beauty of [D]the rodeo
While her [G]mother [Gm]fights back [G]proud tears,
a young [D]cowboy gives the nod
The chute [Bm]opens, bull draws [A]blood,
and the gift is ac[G]cepted by God
The chute [Bm]opens, the bull draws [A]blood,
and the gift is ac[G]cepted by God
In this [Bm]barbed wire town of
[A]barbed wire dre[G]ams
I'm in my [Bm]bedroom on the
[A]verge of a terrible thing
[D]

[Verse 5]
I close [G]my eyes [Bm]and
think of the wa[D]ter
Out at [G]the Salt [Bm]Creek when I was [A]young
I close my [D]eye[G] s an[Bm]d
think of the [A]wa [D]ter
Out at [G]the Salt [Bm]Creek when I was [A]young
