The intro I tabbed out isn't completely accurate as to how many strums of each chord to
do, so just try it out and do whatever sounds good to yourself.
In the verse, I'll put a '*' next to the Am chords, which you play briefly for a strum
or two.

[Chorus]
Am The boy with the thorn in his side C D Behind the hatred there lies G Am* D A murderous desire Am C D Foooor loooove
[Verse 1]
D G Am* D How can they look into my eyes Am C D And still they don't believe me G Am* D How can they hear me say those words Am C D Still they don't believe me G Am* D And if they don't believe me now Am C D Will they ever believe me? G Am* D And if they don't believe me now Am C Will they ever believe me?
[Refrain]

[Chorus]
Am The boy with the thorn in his side C D Behind the hatred there lies G Am* D A plundering desire Am C D Foooor loooove
[Verse 2]
D G Am* D How can they see the love in our eyes Am C D And still they don't believe us G Am* D And after all this time Am C D They don't want to believe us G Am* D And if they don't believe us now Am C D Will they ever believe us? G Am* D And when you want to live, how do you start? Am C D Where do you go? Who do you need to know?
