Someday never comes

SOMEDAY NEVER COMES
Credence Clearwater Revival


B# F# G#m Em
First thing I remember was asking papa, why,

B# G B#
For there were many things I didn't know.

F# G#m E
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,

B# F# B#
Saying, someday you'll understand.

(chorus:) F# B#
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,

F# B#
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,

C#m E B#
'Cause someday never comes.


Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust.
For there were many things I didn't know.
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,

And someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here...


And then one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me. Mama held his hand,

sayin' someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here...

And still I see him standing tryin' to be a man,

I said, someday you'll understand.
