            D
There is no boy in me now

There is no time and I'm alone
          A
But I am only breathing, breathing around
        D
I get involved with your crowd

They make me feel so alone
              A
If you could only see me when I'm around

            Am/D1
But this is you and this is war, it makes me drink even more
              Am/D2
And I'll have fun then, I'll make a mark on you
              Am/D1
I'll tell you all that I am, how simple feet will walk for free
          Am/D3
Until you injure me again
