[verse]
B F#
I guess by now you're feeling sorry for me
Well that's the way this story's meant to be
Take a look around, you won't see much that's right
Your kid might be in the Boy Scouts, but he's kicking queers at night
[chorus]
D G
Tell me a single thing life teaches you
Tell me a single death that reaches you
You deny you've got a soul to preach to
Try and save him, I beseech you
B G
I've done all I can, he never cut his hair
B Am G
I washed my hands of the whole affair
D Cm Bb
Twenty years in jail seems a little harsh
D Cm Bb Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
But I bow to the law and the chosen path
[bridge]
Abmaj7 Gsus4/C G/D
Is it me, for a moment
Cm Cm/Bb Abmaj7
The stars are falling
Eb Cm7 Abmaj9 Eb Cm7 Abmaj9
The heat is rising, the past is calling
E Ab
[repeat]
I guess by now you're feeling sorry for him
Well that's OK, 'cause they put him in the bin
Take a look around, take a walk out in the park
You can still see all the old ladies scared stiff of the dark
Tell me etc.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 D
Some nights I still sleep on the beach
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 D
Remember when stars were in reach
