Intro: D MajorD G+G
D MajorD G+G
poetry has no place for a heart that's a whore
D MajorD
and i'm young and i'm strong
G+G
but i feel old and tired
D MajorD
over fired
and i've been poked and stoked
G+G
it's all smoke, there's no more fire
A augmentedA
only desire
E minorEm
for you, whoever you are
D MajorD
for you, whoever you are
D MajorD G+G
you say my time here has been some sort of joke
D MajorD
that i've been messing around
G+G
some sort of incubating period
D MajorD
for when i really come around
E minorEm
but i'm cracking up
A augmentedA
and you have no idea
E minorEm D MajorD
no idea how it feels to be on your own
E minorEm
in your own home
D MajorD
with the fucking phone
E minorEm
and the mother of gloom
D MajorD
in your bedroom
E minorEm
standing over your head
A augmentedA
with her hand in your head
D MajorD
with her hand in your head
G+G
i will not pretend
D MajorD
i will not put on a smile
G+G
i will not say i'm alright for you
A augmentedA
when all i wanted was to be good
E minorEm
to do everything in truth
D MajorD
to do everything in truth
D MajorD G+G
oh i wish, i wish, i wish i was born a man
D MajorD G+G
so i could learn how to stand up for myself
D MajorD
like those guys with guitars
G+G
i've been watching in bars
D MajorD G+G
who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
A augmentedA D MajorD
to a different beat, to a different beat
D MajorD G+G
i will not pretend
D MajorD
i will not put on a smile
G+G
i will not say i'm alright for you
A augmentedA
when all i wanted was to be good
E minorEm
to do everything in truth
D MajorD
to do everything in truth
D MajorD G+G
you bloody motherfucking asshole
D MajorD G+G
you bloody motherfucking asshole
D MajorD G+G
you bloody motherfucking asshole
D MajorD G+G
you bloody motherfucking asshole
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
you bloody motherfucking asshole
G+G
you bloody
D MajorD G+G
i will not pretend
D MajorD
i will not put on a smile
G+G
i will not say i'm alright for you
A augmentedA
for you, whoever you are
G+G
for you, whoever you are
D MajorD
for you, whoever you are
