Lyrics

| Am | G | Am | G |

[Verse 1]
Am    G      Am    G
  Only child,  only son
Dm               Am       G              D
  Treated like a criminal ever since day one
Am     G     Am                G
  Only child,  where do you go?
Dm                   Am
  And are you coming back again?
       G                   D
'Cause no one wants to know
Am    G      Am                 G
  Only child,  one of these days
Dm                Am
  Someone's gonna come around
    G                     D
And try to make you change

[Verse 2]
Am    G      Am              G
  Only child,  sensitive soul
Dm                         Am
  You see the beauty in everything
        G              D
Without ever being told

[Chorus]
F                                    C
 I thought about leaving you once or twice
              G                       D
Leaving it all behind and never think twice
F                                    C
 Somewhere far away on a beach sounds nice
          G                   D
Nothing on my mind, nothing on my mind

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Am    G      Am             G
  Only child,  the prodigal son
Dm                  Am
  Has come back home  again
   G                   D
To get his laundry done

Leaving it all behind and never think twice
F                                    C
 Somewhere far away on a beach sounds nice
          G                   D
Nothing on my mind, nothing on my mind
