[Verse]
LEmen’s  got a pain in his vein and that mean it looks like rain
And there ain't no sCunshine
For a very close frDiend a mine, for a very close fEmriend a mine
TEmheres a man way across town if Len is lucky he can run him down
For him to scCrew him blind
Running numbers on a friDend a mine, running numbers on a fEmriend a mine
In a Empoisen paint chipped room, he plays solitaire with doom
And I pray that he dCon't go blind
He’s a very close fDriend a mine he’s a veryclose fEmriend a mine
LEmenny's been doin' it for years, hiding from his fears
And you say that he'Cs to blame
And I say that we're aDll to blame, And I say that we are Emall to blame
AEmnd there just ain't no pain, after racing with your vein
On the devil's frCeeway He died yDesterdayEm  
And there ain't no sCunshine
For a very close frDiend a mine, For a very close fEmriend a mine

Len’s got a pain in his vein and that mean it looks like rain

And there ain't no sunshine

For a very close friend a mine, for a very close friend a mine

Theres a man way across town if Len is lucky he can run him down

For him to screw him blind

D Em

Running numbers on a friend a mine, running numbers on a friend a mine

In a poisen paint chipped room, he plays solitaire with doom

And I pray that he don't go blind

He’s a very close friend a mine he’s a veryclose friend a mine

Lenny's been doin' it for years, hiding from his fears

And you say that he's to blame

And there just ain't no pain, after racing with your vein

C D Em

On the devil's freeway He died yesterday

And there ain't no sunshine

For a very close friend a mine, For a very close friend a mine
