BmI realize theyBm* meant no harm and Dthat they'd seen the tF#ruth

DHow to punch the clF#ock and get a hBmome and get a wifeBm*
DThey knew I was sF#earching for thBmings I'd never find Bm*
So they trGied to break my mind by padAdling my behind
(chorus)
All for tDhe love of an iF#nnocent mBmind Bm*
