I am the son and the heir 
     A5               B5          F#5 
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar 

I am the son and heir 
                        A5 B5 
Of nothing in particular 


D5             A5 
You shut your mouth, how can you say 
C#5 E5                 F#5 
I go about things the wrong way ? 
     D5                      A5 
I am Human and I need to be loved 
C#5       E5              |  F#5  |  F#5  |  F#5  |  A/ |  
Just like everybody else does 


         F#5 
I am the son and the heir 
     A5               B5          F#5 
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar 

I am the son and heir 
                            A5 B5 
Oh, of nothing in particular 


D5             A5 
You shut your mouth 
D5             A5 
You shut your mouth, how can you say 
C#5 E5                 F#5 
I go about things the wrong way ? 
     D5                      A5 
I am Human and I need to be loved 
C#5       E5              |  F#5  |  F#5  |  F#5  |  A5  |  
Just like everybody else does 


D5                               A5 
There's a club if you'd like to go 
               C#5      E5          F#5 
You could meet somebody who really loves you 
       D5 
So you go, and you stand on your own 
A5 
And you leave on your own 
        C#5              E5 
And you go home, and you cry 
                 |  F#5  |  F#5  |  F#5  |  A5  |  
And you want to die 


D5                              A5 
When you say it's gonna happen "now" 
C#5          E5            F#5 
Well, when exactly do you mean? 
         D5                  A5 
See I've already waited too long 
C#5 E5           F#5 
And all my hope is gone 


D5             A5 
You shut your mouth, how can you say 
C#5 E5                 F#5 
I go about things the wrong way ? 
     D5                      A5 
I am Human and I need to be loved 
C#5       E5              |  F#5  |  F#5  |  F#5  |  A5  |  
Just like everybody else does
