Dave Hause's song "C'Mon Kid' about one of his friends, addicted to drugs, and wanted to
write a song in the happy times, in case he ever got back onto drugs.
Capo: 1
Verse 1:
A F#m
It seems like you’re doing better these days
A F#m
Even though things are falling apart
A F#m
I know it’s brutal working minimum wage
E5 D
It’s like you’re finished before you start
A F#m
Things got ugly for a while back there
A F#m
I know I thought that you wouldn’t pull through
A F#m
Late at night when the phone would ring
E D
There’s no telling what you would do
Verse 2:
A F#m
Sometimes we’d yell and act mad as hell
A F#m
Sometimes we’d act like we didn’t care
A F#m
Some of our love was just suffocating
E D
It left you turning blue and gasping for air
Chorus:
F#m D A E
C’mon kid, c’mon, it’s one foot and then the other
F#m D
Everybody needs a hand sometimes,
A E
everybody needs a brother
F#m D
Well c’mon kid, c’mon,
A E
I’m reaching out to you
F#m D A
Get out of bed kid, face the world,
E
And show us what you can do
Interlude: A E A E

Verse 3:
A F#m
I’m sorry I was always casting stones
A F#m
Like my glass house couldn’t be smashed
A F#m
I spent as many nights as wild as a lion
E D
I was lucky that I never crashed
A F#m
Look, I’ve never really been no angel,
A F#m
I see a lot of myself in you
A F#m
This little town can feel a lot like prison
E
And angry young men
E D
Angry young men always have something to prove
D
You know I always have something to prove
Chorus:
F#m D A E
C’mon kid, c’mon, it’s one foot and then the other
F#m D
Everybody needs a hand sometimes,
A E
everybody needs a brother

Well c’mon kid, c’mon,
A E
I’m reaching out to you
F#m D A
Get out of bed kid, face the world,
E
And show us what you can do

Bridge:
D A
I know you ended up with bills to pay
E E
I know she promised you that she would stay
D A
I know they told you he died for your sins
E
And he’s the only way
D A
I know it caught you by surprise
E E
I got a call that you almost died
D A
Second chances are a crime to waste,
E
So don’t let time decide
E
Don’t let time decide
