Lori McKenna - Deserving Song
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
C  G    C  G    C  G    D
[Verse 1]
CI don't deserve anyGthing I get
CThings just come easy to Gme
Like the Csun in the morning on a Gblanket of clouds
And Dother things that you don't see
[Verse 2]
And CI don't deserve my Gfamily
CI am the youngest and they Gall love me
And I Cdon't feel pain
But I Gdon't feel free someDtimes
[Verse 3]
And CI will shatter because GI don't bounce
Feel Cweight on my shoulder from something that Gweighs just an ounce
Like Clife since the Gmoment that we Dmet
But I Cdon't deserve Ganything I Dget
[Verse 4]
CI don't deserve anyGthing I get
CI am self-centred and Gweak
And I Cdon't feel your pain or your Gemptiness
Or feel Dsorry for you when you bleed
[Verse 5]
And CI don't deserve my Gbody
It Cmay not be perfect but it Gworks for me
And CI can walk and GI can see the Dsky
But CI will shatter because GI don't bend
And Call that I know is that Gyou are my friend
And I Clove you more than any Grecord ever Dset
But I Cdon't deserve Ganything I Dget
[Instrumental]
C  G    C  G    C  G    D
[Verse 6]
Well, CI don't deserve anyGthing I get
CPeople just take care of Gme
And I'll Cnever be sorry for the Gway I see you
Or just Dsorry for the way you see me
[Verse 7]
Because CI will shatter and GI will break
And I'm Cusually the first one to Gmake a mistake
Oh, but Cgod only gives us as Gmuch as we can take, I Dbet (bullshit!)
But I Cdon't deserve Ganything I Dget
And I Cdon't deserve Ganything I Dget
[Outro]
C  G    C  G    C  G    D
