Tom: C 


Verso 1
 C 
I was born in the heart of Dublin
         F 
to the holy book of rules                  
          G                                    C 
Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools


            C 
We were warped by the Christian Brothers
         F 
In the cell blocks at our schools
        G 
Get a handprint on your skin
            C 
Before you break their rules


 Am          Em 
Go hit me now
           F           G 
That I'm twice your size
 Am                  Em 
Brushed off the accusations
    Dm                    G 
And bowed before your lies

Refr?o
                       C 
This is the city that raised me
                        Am 
With the religion they gave me
        Dm                          G 
Now I'm old enough to know my own mind
                          C 
But it was leaving that saved me
                          Am 
I seen so much that has changed me
 F                     G 
Just break with your past
               Am            Em 
Feed your own mind
 Dm          G                       C 
This Irish son has moved with the times

Verso 2
 C 
Weddings deaths or baptizing children
                F 
That's my debt paid to the church
                    G 
I don't need that kind of salvation
  
When I get hurt


 Am               Em 
Don't fill my head with sermons
      Dm           G 
And force me to believe

Refr?o

 F                     G 
Just break with your past
               Am            Em 
Feed your own mind

 D 
Our father who art in heaven
 Dsus2                                 Em 
Come down here and make your presence known
                       A 
We can't do it on our own
 D 
The lunatics let run the asylum
 Dsus2                              Em 
How can we find peace inside your home
                          A 
When you can't trust your own

Refr?o
