Island of the Misfit Boy
guitar chords lyrics
C
I love to sleep cause I pretend that I'm dead,
E
But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget,
Am F G
That I've lost all control of this life I've held so dear.
C
And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
E
I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
Am F G
And I hope the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
C
Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny,
E
I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly,
Am F
I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
C
Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
E
I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more,
Am F
I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.
C
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
E
I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
Am
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
F
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
C
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
E
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
Am
That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
F G
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
C E Am F G
C
Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck,
E
And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as fuck.
Am
So I sit on the floor and gather my thoughts,
F
And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off.
C
Well I lost control when I only a boy,
E
The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
Am
Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breath,
F G
Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.
C E Am F G
C
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
E
I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
Am
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
F
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
C
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
E
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
Am
That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
F G G
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
