[Verse]
Em
Len’s got a pain in his vein and that mean it looks like rain
C
And there ain't no sunshine
D Em
For a very close friend a mine, for a very close friend a mine
Em
Theres a man way across town if Len is lucky he can run him down
C
For him to screw him blind
D Em
Running numbers on a friend a mine, running numbers on a friend a mine
Em
In a poisen paint chipped room, he plays solitaire with doom
C
And I pray that he don't go blind
D Em
He’s a very close friend a mine he’s a veryclose friend a mine
Em
Lenny's been doin' it for years, hiding from his fears
C
And you say that he's to blame
D Em
And I say that we're all to blame, And I say that we are all to blame
Em
And there just ain't no pain, after racing with your vein
C D Em
On the devil's freeway He died yesterday
C
And there ain't no sunshine
D Em
For a very close friend a mine, For a very close friend a mine
