G5
Heard every word that was said that night
         F5                          C5     F5  G5
When the light of the world put the world to right
F5
Here's to the boys back in 628
         C5                     F5     C5  G5
Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate
A5
I will shine a blinding light
Bb5
Through those hearts as black as night
C5
Sticks and stones may break my bones
       G5                  F5            G5
But at least the seeds of love will be sown
F5
Once in awhile when I feel no shame
      G5
I get down on my knees and I pray for rain
    F5
The breeze blows gently while I state my case
            G5
There'll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face
F5
Hand on my heart I will make a stand
        G5                        
For the life and the times of the mirror man
F5     F5 G5
In my head, there is a mirror
F5              F5 G5
When I've been bad,  I've been wrong
F5            F5           G5
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb5
Hope for a bad man
F5                    G5
This is the badman's song
F5
Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
       G5
Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass
          F5
Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man
G5
Try and fit themselves together again
F5
Lies in disguise in the name of trust
         G5
Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust 
F5
What's your problem ? What's your curse ?
G5
Won't it make the matter worse ?


F5     F5 G5
In my head, there is a mirror
F5             F5 G5
When I've been bad, I've been wrong
F5            F5           G5
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb5
Hope for a bad man
F5                     G5
This is the bad man's song


         Bb5                             
They say faith can move move mountains
G5
Fire can cleanse your soul 
Bb5
Faith can move mountains
G5
But mind over matter won't you stop all your chatter 

(Piano solo)

F5
Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
         G5
When the stories are tall as the day is long
            F5
With such a thin drawn between friend and foe
G5
Lord help me now and bless my soul 
F5                  
Look at yourself - See how you lie
     G5
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
F5
Look at yourself - See how you lie 
     G5
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why

F5            F5           G5
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb5
Hope for a bad man
F5                    G5
This is the badman's song
