Only Child

The Raconteurs


Tom: Am

Am   G      Am   G
Only child, only son
Dm              Am       G              D
Treated like a criminal ever since day one
Am   G      Am           G
Only child, where do you go?
D           Am
And are you coming back again?
G                      D
'Cause no one wants to know
Am   G      Am           G
Only child, one of these days
Dm               Am
Someone's gonna come around
G                   D
And try to make you change


[Interlude]
Am G Am G Dm  Am G D


[Verse 2]
Am   G      Am        G
Only child, sensitive soul
Dm                     Am
You see the beauty in everything
G                  D
Without ever being told


[Chorus]
F                                   C
I thought about leaving you once or twice
           G                          D
Leaving it all behind and never think twice
F                                    C
Somewhere far away on a beach sounds nice
        G                   D
Nothing on my mind, nothing on my mind


[Interlude]
Am G Am G


[Verse 3]
Am   G    Am             G
Only child, the prodigal son
Dm             Am
Has come back home again
G                  D
To get his laundry done


[Interlude]
Am G Am G D  Am G D


[Chorus]
F                                   C
I thought about leaving you once or twice
           G                          D
Leaving it all behind and never think twice
F                                    C
Somewhere far away on a beach sounds nice
        G                   D
Nothing on my mind, nothing on my mind
