Poor boy

C Cmaj7
I think

Cadd9        Fmaj7
if one of us is going to suffer

                  Why shouldn't it be me?

Poor boy

Cadd9         Fmaj7
Your wife is in hard labor

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7

C              Cmaj7
The rhythm you know 

Cadd9        Fmaj7
Is pulsing and drifting to the grave

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7

C            Cmaj7
When you come to

You'll be asking yourself just one question

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7
                Was I always this way?

C            Cmaj7
Think back a year

     Cadd9      Fmaj7
When everything stood at the surface

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7

C               Cmaj7
But bandage your cuts

     Cadd9                 Fmaj7
cause you don't know what swims underneath

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7

C    Cmaj7
Hold tight

    Cadd9      Fmaj7
The bondage of this life is slipping

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7
                  Why shouldn't it be me?

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7
                  Why shouldn't it be me?

::Bridge::

F               Fm
    When I come back

              C         Em 
You'll be the brightest star

       F    G 
In the black

F                  Fm
    When there are days

                  C           Em         Am        G
That you want the call we're all waiting for

C
Think back

Go buy

C                 Cmaj7
You went with the goal

                  You don't want to change.

C     Cmaj7     Dm    Fmaj7
                  I don't want to change
