       C/G               Am9           A#maj7
If it came to pass that they should ask
              C
What could I tell them
             C/G       Am9        A#maj7
Would they criticize behind my back
                C
Maybe I should let them
F     C             Am7
Oh if only then and only then
D9                Dm7/G  Gsus4
They would understand
               C            F
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
        C/G          F    C
Into a full-blooded city man

If they could face it
I could take it
In their eyes
Oh, I know I'd make it
Their tiny minds
And sacred cows, just fake it
Oh, if only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man

       A#m
But I know the way they want me
       G#maj7
In the way they publicize
A#m
If they could turn their focus off
       G#maj7
To the image in their eyes
C/G            G9sus4      C/G             F
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand

        C             F
That a full-blooded city boy
         C/G           F    C
Is now a full-blooded city man

C/G
Do do do do do do do do do
Am9

Do do do do do do do do do do
C/G
Oh my soul

Oh my soul

Oh my soul
