C                   F
I'm gnawing on the knowledge

C                 F
That I have been burnt

        C                   F
And I'm learning things that I

        C         F
Should've already learnt

C               F
Everyone I ever knew

C               F
Was so kind and coy

C            F
I was with a girl

            C                 F        
But it felt like I was with a boy

C
I can't even remember

F
If we were lovers

   C                G
Or if I just wanted to

      C
But I held her in my arms

  F
I held her in my arms

  C
I held her in my arms

              G
But it wasn't you

Repeat Intro

C           F
I will not kill

    C                F
The one thing that I love

C                F
In this world of wreckage

C        F
I look above

C        F
Help me Lord

C            F
Help me understand

C                 F
What it means to be a boy

C                 F
What it means to be a man
