Intro
A5 D5 A5 D5 A5 D5 E5

A5                   D5
I'm gnawing on the knowledge
A5                 D5
That I have been burnt
        A5                   D5
And I'm learning things that I
        A5         D5
Should've already learnt
A5               D5
Everyone I ever knew
A5               D5
Was so kind and coy
A5            D5
I was with a girl
            A5                 D5        
But it felt like I was with a boy

A5
I can't even remember
D5
If we were lovers
   A5                E5
Or if I just wanted to
      A5
But I held her in my arms
  D5
I held her in my arms
  A5
I held her in my arms
              E5
But it wasn't you

Repeat Intro

A5           D5
I will not kill
    A5                D5
The one thing that I love
A5                D5
In this world of wreckage
A5        D5
I look above
A5        D5
Help me Lord
A5            D5
Help me understand
A5                 D5
What it means to be a boy
A5                 D5
What it means to be a man
