G#m E
Verse 1:
Tom:
G#m
I'm like a cat in a cage locked
F#/Bb
up and
battered and bruised
E
I am the prodigal son
a shameful
prodigy too
G#m
I am the love of your life
F#/Bb
battering
ram and confused
E
I turn each day into night
I stand
there waiting for you
G#m
There is desire to fight but
F#/Bb
I have
nothing to prove
E
With the crowd and some lights
I start to
feel things move
G#m
Do you have something to hide?
F#/Bb
Cause I
think that we all do
E
I am a child inside back up
and give me
some room
Chorus:
Mark:
B
I'm just a bastard child
don't let it
go to your head
E
I'm just a waste of your time
maybe I'm
better off dead
B
They turn us loose in the night
a fucking
Jekyll and Hyde
E
We'll have the time of our lives
although
we're dying inside
G#m
So let me go go
So let me go
go
E
Just let me go go
I'd rather
go it alone
B
So let me go go
So let me go
go
E
Just let me go go
I'm never
coming home
Post Chorus:
Tom's Guitar Tapping again
B C#m
G#m E
Verse 2:
Tom:
G#m
Don't start to panic for me
F#/Bb
cause I have
nothing to lose
E
I am as bright as the sun
I burn up
all that I choose
G#m
Up on the side of the field
F#/Bb
I see a city
with lights
E
I touch her face when I kneel
she tells me
she's not alive
G#m
I am too nervous to run
F#/Bb
the kids who
scatter and hide
E
Still reach and grab for
someone but
end up buried alive
G#m
Her world is waiting for me
F#/Bb
a world that
I rarely used
E
I start to feel my feet
they kick
down walls as they move
(Repeat
Chorus)
