[Intro]
C C F F C C F F C C G G F F C C G G

[Verse 1]
C C
well I guess by the blood stain of your lips
F F
and the wander of your fingertips
C C F F C C
I should prove true to my empteyness and stay here
C C
well I’m just a kid of ill repute
G G
but the skin I wear’s my only suit
F F C C G G
and you you’re just a substitute for the one that I hold dear
F F G G C C
you know you could be anyone
G G F F
god forgive my tasteless tongue
G G C C
I never should have been set free
F F G G C C
I claw my eyes I skin my face
G G F F
beg somehow to be replaced
G G C C
that’s how we deal with boys like me

[Verse 2]
C C
well I guess by this world so sick with loss
F F
and your services so free of cost
C C F F C C
I should climb down off my rugged cross and lay with you
C C
but you know by now it's half past late
G G
and I only came here for escape
F F
you you’re just my next mistake
C C G G
like me to you
F F G G C C
you know you could be anyone
G G F F
god forgive your unborn sons
G G C C
I hope they don’t end up like me
F F G G C C
I drag my mind through streets of shame
G G F F
blame myself forgive the game
G G C C G G
that’s how we deal with boys like me

[Refrain]
G G C C G G
but despite what you’ve been told
F F
I once had a soul
C C
left somewhere behind
G G F F
a former friend of mine
Am Am
and I hate to speak so free
G G
but you mean nothing to me
F F
so if the street lights they shine bright
G G C C
I’ll be home tonight

[Verse 3]
C C
I guess by the dim light in your eyes
F F
and that to you all things come as a surprise
C C F F C C
I should set the steel trap of your thighs and dive right in
C C
but to you I’m just a confused child
G G
insecure or in denial
F F C C G G
go raise your robes go have your trial I’ll let you win
F F G G C C
you know I could be anyone
G G F F
god forgive what I should’ve done
G G C C
my thoughts enough to guilty be
F F G G C C
yes I guess I made this bed
G G F F
but I’ll take the sidewalk instead
G G C C
that’s how we deal with boys like me

[Refrain]
G G C C G G
but despite what you’ve been told
F F
I once had a soul
C C
left somewhere behind
G G F F
a former friend of mine
G G Am Am
and I hate to sound so true
G G
but I mean nothing to you
F F
so if the street lights they shine bright
G G C C G G F F C C G G F F
I’ll get home tonight

[Outro]
Am Am G G F F Em Em Dm Dm G G C C
