Intro:

(Riff 1) + (Riff 2)

(Riff 3)
The boy with the thorn in his side

Behind the hatred there lies

(Riff 2)    +     (Riff 3)
A murderous desire for love


             G5       A5    D5
How can they look into my eyes
               A5               C5    D5
And still they don't believe me ?
       G5            A5           D5
How can they hear me say those words
                A5         C5    D5
Still they don't believe me ?
                  G5        A5  D5
And if they don't believe me now
           A5            C5   D5
Will they ever believe me ?
                  G5        A5   D5
And if they don't believe me now
                          A5    C5     D5
Will they ever, they ever, believe me ?
Oh ...
(Riff 1) + (Riff 2)
Oh......Oh..........

(Riff 3)
The boy with the thorn in his side

Behind the hatred there lies

(Riff 2)  +   (Riff 3)
A plundering desire for love
              G5              A5    D5
How can they see the Love in our eyes
                      A5         C5    D5
And still they don't believe us ?
                    G5      A5     D5
And after all this time
                    A5        C5   D5
They don't want to believe us
                   G5       A5  D5
And if they don't believe us now
            A5          C5  D5
Will they ever believe us ?
                      G5
And when you want to Live
                  A5  D5
How do you start ?

Where do you go ?
A5                      C5  D5
Who do you need to know ?
