torn apart at the hands of a child.
(Follows same pattern)
C G Em D
And again I used arrogance as something to depend
C G Em D
and condemned all religion to pitiless end.
C G Em D
And a politician's resonance rang through my mind.
Am D
Patriotic in one sense the other just blind.
Am D Am D
Oh so many died, torn apart at the hands of a child
(Listen for timing here)
C D Em G
And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose.
C D Em G
I gave up morals when I took up you
C D Em G
and it's boring to hear of another young truth
C D Em
and what typically shit thing to do.
I was so shallow to the one man'd stuck around
sunk so low that I nearly drowned
and I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around
Consoled him recklessly, I knew you were down.
Oh I watched him cry, a broken heart at the hands of a child.
And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose
I gave up morals when I took up you
and its boring to hear, of another young truth
and what a typically shit thing to do.
(Listen for timing here as well)
Am D G
I have felt heartbreak too and I know what it feels like.
Am D G
I have felt heartbreak now you can leave me alone right.
Am D G
I have felt loneliness and I know what it feels like.
(Usual Pattern)
But kept on going I had nothing to lose,
and I gave up morals when I took up booze.
And it's boring to hear of another young truth
and what a typically shit thing to do.
