G
Heard every word that was said that night
         F                          C     F  G
When the light of the world put the world to right
F
Here's to the boys back in 628
         C                     F     C  G
Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate
Am
I will shine a blinding light
Bb
Through those hearts as black as night
C
Sticks and stones may break my bones
       G                  F            G
But at least the seeds of love will be sown
F7M
Once in awhile when I feel no shame
      G
I get down on my knees and I pray for rain
    F7M
The breeze blows gently while I state my case
            G
There'll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face
F7M
Hand on my heart I will make a stand
        G                        
For the life and the times of the mirror man
F     F7M G
In my head, there is a mirror
F              F7M G
When I've been bad,  I've been wrong
F            F7M           G
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb
Hope for a bad man
F                    G
This is the badman's song
F7M
Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
       G
Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass
          F7M
Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man
G
Try and fit themselves together again
F7M
Lies in disguise in the name of trust
         G
Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust 
F7M
What's your problem ? What's your curse ?
G
Won't it make the matter worse ?


F     F7M G
In my head, there is a mirror
F             F7M G
When I've been bad, I've been wrong
F            F7M           G
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb
Hope for a bad man
F                     G
This is the bad man's song


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

(Piano solo)

F7M
Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
         G
When the stories are tall as the day is long
            F7M
With such a thin drawn between friend and foe
G
Lord help me now and bless my soul 
F7M                  
Look at yourself - See how you lie
     G
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
F7M
Look at yourself - See how you lie 
     G
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why

F            F7M           G
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb
Hope for a bad man
F                    G
This is the badman's song
