[Intro] 
Abm  E   x2, B  C#m  Abm  E
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Tom:
Abm
I'm like a cat in a cage locked 
       F#/Bb
up and battered and bruised
E
  I am the prodigal son
a shameful prodigy too
Abm
   I am the love of your life
          F#/Bb
battering ram and confused
E
  I turn each day into night
I stand there waiting for you
Abm
   There is desire to fight but 
       F#/Bb
I have nothing to prove
E
  With the crowd and some lights
I start to feel things move
Abm
   Do you have something to hide? 
              F#/Bb
Cause I think that we all do
E
  I am a child inside back up 
and give me some room
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Mark:
B
  I'm just a bastard child
don't let it go to your head
E
  I'm just a waste of your time
maybe I'm better off dead
B
  They turn us loose in the night
a fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E
  We'll have the time of our lives 
although we're dying inside
Abm
   So let me go go
So let me go go
E
   Just let me go go
I'd rather go it alone
B
   So let me go go
So let me go go
E
  Just let me go go
I'm never coming home
 
 
[Post Chorus]
B  C#m  Abm  E
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Tom:
Abm
   Don't start to panic for me 
             F#/Bb
cause I have nothing to lose
E
   I am as bright as the sun
I burn up all that I choose
Abm
   Up on the side of the field 
        F#/Bb
I see a city with lights
E
   I touch her face when I kneel
she tells me she's not alive
Abm
   I am too nervous to run
              F#/Bb
the kids who scatter and hide
E
   Still reach and grab for 
someone but end up buried alive
Abm
   Her world is waiting for me
             F#/Bb
a world that I rarely used
E
   I start to feel my feet
they kick down walls as they move
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
