The Lemon Twigs – The Bully (Guitar)

Dmaj7
Shane, I'm waiting

                           Em7  A7
For you inside the bathroom stall

  Dmaj7
Anticipating

                               C#m7b5 F#7
Your footsteps coming down the hall

Em7 A7   D
As  I stay still

Em7       A7       D
Something makes me ill

   Em7       A7     D
My eyes grow wide until

     Gm/Bb     Bm F# Bm  A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5
They fill with tears

Dmaj7
Visions haunt me

                            Em7 A7
Just as they did when I was young

Dmaj7
My poor father

                      C#m7b5 F#7
Was given Robert as a son

Em7    A7   D
Robert being me

Em7        A7  D
Shamed the family

Em7     A7         D
Slow as slow could be

          Gm/Bb        Bm F# Bm  A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5
While his father had a PhD

Dmaj7
Please have mercy

                       Em7 A7
I'm doing everything I can

Dmaj7
Robert Senior politely

                 C#m7b5 F#7
Asked his son to stand

A                       D
  Do you wanna know why

                  A
Your mother died?

Em7
When you were born

    A7               D                B7
She couldn't bear to raise a boy like you

    Em7
She just couldn't hack it

    A7
Her body attacked itself

D                     B7
By the time the birth was through

         Em7
She was gone!

A7
Gone!

Dmaj7
Shane, I waited

                               Em7 A7
To smash your head against the wall

Dmaj7
My self-hatred

                             C#m7b5 F#7
Makes me feel like no one at all

Em7  A7       D
I'll close my eyes

Em7    A7     D
Listen to your cries

    Em7    A7      D
And try to feel my size

       Gm/Bb               Bm  F# Bm A
But my father's voice will not subside

Dmaj7
Ah
