Oh how your father whispered in my ear

                   F#m/C#           C#7sus
First the kiss and then the touch

       C#7           F#m
Mixing lies with the truth

                  E/G#           A     Asus A Bm
He would sigh and try to draw me near

Then they'll laugh at you
Watching you fall apart

Have you lost your mind

                                                 A
Can't you see Satan's passion has made you blind

And this boy's like the rest

            A            Bm                 F#m/C#

I tried to fight
