[verse1]
D5                 D5  G5          Gadd2?
How can it happen   that every time
D5                       D5      G5                 Gadd2
You ask us this question the answer seems like a lie
D5                              D5 G5                  Gadd2
You know what what we're saying  you know what it means
B5
And it's always sincere god knows
       A5          G5
But it never gets through to where you need

[chorus1]
D5
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
G5
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong
D5
Before you were born someone kicked in the door
G5
You are not wanted here anymore
