[Verse 1]:
Em                               
when i was a little boy i didnt know whats right or wrong
   G
i had to change my way of life, but i just couldnt win the fight
   D                             C
i let myself float off in time   and hide.

Em
another day, another night i lived off dreams i thought was right
       G
but i couldnt stand being treated like i was the only without rights
D                               C       Em
stood there screaming out your vice   and cry

C            Em
the way you love me
    G     F#       Em       D

[Verse] 2:
Em
in the dirt and in my soil they said they planted seeds of joy
   G
i was unholy born in sin so they fed me words of lead within
    D                          C             Em
i looked down on myself in shame  left with the blame


[Pre-Chorus]:
C            Em
the way you love me
    G     F#       Em       D
is not always what we call love
C        D
waiting now 


[Chorus]:

beautiful pain         beautiful pain,
