GC9
I was born when they took my name
GC9
When the world turned wicked, when I joined their game
Em
But I turned upon them
C9G
Like you always knew I'd do
GC9
I sat and dreamed at the foot of your bed
GC9
Split my skull and reached inside my head
EmC9G
Pulled out the pictures and wished that I'd forget
Em
But you stitched me up then
DG
Wiped the blood from off my chin
GDC9G x 4
GC9
Now I sit on rooftop's edge
GC9
Muddy street beneath my swollen head
Em
Trying to forget you
C9G
But we've never met
GC9
And the sky is ripped from the flying clouds
GC9
The chimneys' mouths spewing smoke around
Em
And I can't stop coughing
C9G
My lungs just won't calm down
Em
But still I keep grinning
DG
As the blood from my face stains the ground
GEmA bird, caught in the wires
C9GD
Pleading for help I can't provide, I'm not that big
EmGC9
I hope for the best but nothing changes, I'm sorry
GEm
But I was blessed with bad eyes
C9GD
There's a lot that I missed but I don't mind, I'm not that old
EmGC9
I'll find out what broke me soon enough
