Intro: C5 F5 C5 F5 C5 G5 F5 C5 G5

1.
C5
well I guess by the blood stain of your lips
         F5
and the wander of your fingertips
           C5                                F5    C5
I should prove true to my ruthlessness and stay here
C5
but I?m just a kid of ill repute
         G5
and the skin I wear?s my only suit
    F5                                     C5               G5
and you you?re just a substitute for the one that I hold dear
F5             G5          C5
you know you could be anyone
      G5                   F5
god forgive my tasteless tongue
         G5                     C5
I never should have been set free
F5          G5               C5
I claw my eyes I skin my face
         G5              F5
beg somehow to be replaced
               G5                  C5
that?s how we deal with boys like me


2.
C5
well I guess for this world so sick with loss
     F5
and those who dream despite the cost
          C5                                  F5       C5
I should climb down off my rugged cross and lay with you
C5
but you know by now it's half past late
       G5
and I only came here for escape
F5
you you?re just my next mistake
C5           G5
like me to you
F5             G5           C5
you know you could be anyone
        G5                F5
god forgive your unborn sons
             G5                C5
I hope they don?t end up like me
F5         G5                        C5
I drag my mind through streets of shame
         G5               F5
hate myself forgive the game
               G5                  C5  G5
that?s how we deal with boys like me


Refrain:
G5                             C5    G5
but despite what you?ve been told
              F5
I once had a soul
                  C5
left somewhere behind
G5                    F5
a former friend of mine
                        A5
and I hate to speak so free
                        G5
but you mean nothing to me
                                    F5
so if the street lights they shine bright
  G5              C5
I?ll get home tonight



3.
C5
I guess by the dim light in your eyes
             F5
and that to you all things come as a surprise
         C5                                      F5         C5
I should set the steel trap of your thighs and dive right in
C5
but to you I?m just a confused child
G5
insecure or in denial
F5                                        C5           G5
go raise your robes and hold your trial I?ll let you win
F5           G5           C5
you know I could be anyone
       G5                      F5
god forgive what I should?ve done
             G5               C5
my thoughts enough to guilty be
F5      G5                 C5
yes I guess I made this bed
         G5                   F5
but I?ll take the sidewalk instead
               G5                  C5
that?s how we deal with boys like me

Refrain:
     G5                        C5    G5
but despite what you?ve been told
              F5
I once had a soul
                  C5
left somewhere behind
G5                    F5
a former friend of mine
       G5                A5
and I hate to sound so true
                       G5
but I mean nothing to you
                                    F5
so if the street lights they shine bright
  G5              C5    G5 F5 C5 G5 F5
I?ll get home tonight
