He Never Got Enough Love



G                             C         
His mama ran off when he was just a kid
      D                         G   
So he never really knew her at all
                              C         
Just a picture of a girl in a sad blue dress
D                             G   
Hanging beside a cross on the wall
G                             C 
His daddy used to drive those eighteen wheelers
       D                               G
Now he drives the bottle deep into the night
G                                  C
He was always saying   son, you're just no good
       D                 G 
You'll never do anything right
         G                  Am7          
He never got enough love in all his life
          C                         D               G Am7 C D   
He wasn't brought up right he never got enough love
G                                    C
The screams and the bruises  and the broken bottles
D                         G
These were things he understood
G                       C
From busted chairs to a broken heart
   D                      G
He got away as soon as he could
G                                    C 
When he was just eighteen he got his very own gun
D                                  G                        
Shot a kid near a liquor store one night
G                             C
He was all mixed up  he never understood why
       D                                G
He was only lookin' to prove his daddy right
         G                  Am7          
He never got enough love in all his life
          C                         D                  
He wasn't brought up right he never got enough love
         G                  Am7          
He never got enough love in all his life
          C                         D                  
He wasn't brought up right he never got enough love
