[Verse 1] (D) A I was born old

[Verse 2] Got a job, found God I did everything they told me Spoiled the child, spared the rod And found someone new to hold me Though the love’s not as real As what I used to feel when it All went wrong [Chorus]

[Verse 3] She was young, not scared - she was everything I wanted I was dumb, unprepared - had no idea that I was haunted By the ghosts of a life the night I hid the knives And it all went wrong [Verse 4] It’s an old wound, but it opened in a new way In a rest room in a rest stop on the thruway She calls up her parents And admits with embarrassment

She was ^Bmwrong [Bridge] ^GSpeaking of your ^Amother ^BmThis is how it ^A7goes: When the ^Gworld gets you d^Aown I sup^Bmpose ^GmYou can fly ^A7away somewhere ^Bmelse ^GOf your own ^Avolition ^BmOf your own ^A7accord When you’r^Ge sad, when you??^A?re angry When you’r^Bme bored, You’v^Gme got to do what?^A7??s best for ^Bmyourself ^GOoo ooo o^Aoooo ooo oo ^Doo oo oo oo o^Bmo ^GLa da da da ^Adum

[Verse 5] I awoke; you were gone There was nothing left to hold onto I was blind, I was wrong But I could find you if I want to So I fly to the coast where The boys you love most Sing into your eyes [Verse 6] I was lost, now I’m found I can see, but miss the blindness Here’s my cross; pound It’s your mouth, your kiss, your kindness My stigmata’s the regret for how I could have let it all Go so wrong [Bridge 2]

I’m goin^Gg back to th^Ae place Where they l^Daughed in my f^Aace When it ^Gall ^Awent ^DAll ^Bmwent ^GAll ^Awent ^Bmwrong Yes it ^Gall ^Awent - Isn’t^D this what yo^Bmu wanted, darling? ^GAll ^Awent...

[Chorus]
