Island Of The Misfit Boy chords by The Front Porch Step

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
I love to sleep cause I pretend that I'm dead,
E MajorE
But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget,
A minorAm                         FF    G+G
That I've lost all control of this life I've held so dear.
   C majorC
And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
    E MajorE
I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
   A minorAm                     FF   G+G
And I hope the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
    C majorC
Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny,
 E MajorE
I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly,
 A minorAm                         FF
I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
     C majorC
Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
 E MajorE
I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more,
 A minorAm                       FF
I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.

      C majorC
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
 E MajorE
I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
  A minorAm
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
   FF
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
    C majorC
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
  E MajorE
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
    A minorAm
That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
  FF               G+G
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.

           C majorC E MajorE A minorAm FF G+G

    C majorC
Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck,
   E MajorE
And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as fuck.
   A minorAm
So I sit on the floor and gather my thoughts,
      FF
And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off.
   C majorC
Well I lost control when I only a boy,
  E MajorE
The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
  A minorAm
Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breath,
    FF                   G+G
Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.

          C majorC E MajorE A minorAm FF G+G

      C majorC
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
 E MajorE
I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
  A minorAm
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
   FF
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
    C majorC
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
  E MajorE
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
    A minorAm
That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
  FF               G+G            G+G
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
