Give The Kid A Break

	  		F  
Must be something I said 
Or some small i{F#7}mperfection   C 
{E}In my soul or {Am}in C7/G}my he{F}ad         D/F# 
Don't know{D7} why I'm down here{G}        F#7    G 
Don't reserve to roast or bake
I'm fighting off slanderous allegations
Why don't you give the kid a break? 
G Don't you think maybe we could talk this ov{C}er   F     C 
{E}You're a reasona{Am}ble man 
Could we discu{C}ss my grave situation    D  D#   E 
I'm a miserable m{Am}an                                     G 
F#*And I'm in the frying pan 
       D             G                  
Chorus:Give the kid a break 
Give me one good reason{C} why {-}I s{B}hou{-}ld Em    {-}   G 
All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
But for heaven's sake
Watch your language, Kid.
OK, OK, don't get hot 
Don't…question my judgement 
He only reaped what h{F}e sowed 
He cast his p{F#7}earls before swine     C 
An{D/F#}d that's good enough for me 
                          D7          G F#7 G  
Solo (Verse chord progression) 
I don't want to talk it over
Even tho' I'm a reasonable man
Sonny, from over here
Looks like you're in no position to bargain
You're a convicted man
You're right in the frying pan
Give the kid a break
Please give me a break
Give the kid a break
Nah nah, I don't think so, man 
Come on, you know I got what it takes
Can't you give me a break?
Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over
Ok, don't give the kid a break
Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side
No they don't
Give the kid a break
Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals
Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
Isn't there anything I can say
Or some kind of fine I can pay
Something
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said (I'm sorry)
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
It might be some infection
It might be a small imperfection or a clear case of misdirection
It must be a small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Give the kid a break
