Despite What You’ve Been Told (Two Gallants)
Intro: C F C F C G F C G
1.
Cwell I guess by the blood stain of your lips
and the wFander of your fingertips
I should prCove true to my ruthlessness and sFtay hCere
Cbut I’m just a kid of ill repute
and the sGkin I wear’s my only suit
and Fyou you’re just a substituteC for the one thaGt I hold dear
Fyou know you cGould be anyCone
god foGrgive my tasteless tFongue
I never sGhould have been set frCee
FI claw my eGyes I skin my faCce
beg somehGow to be replacFed
that’Gs how we deal with Cboys like me
2.
Cwell I guess for this world so sick with loss
and tFhose who dream despite the cost
I should cClimb down off my rugged cross and lFay with Cyou
Cbut you know by now it's half past late
and I oGnly came here for escape
Fyou you’re just my next mistake
Clike me to yGou
Fyou know you cGould be anyoCne
god forgGive your unborn sFons
I hope they dGon’t enCd up like me
FI drag my Gmind through streets of sChame
hate myseGlf forgive the gFame
that’Gs how we deal with CboyGs like me
Refrain:
Gbut despite what you’C;ve bGeen told
I once had a sFoul
left somewhere behCind
Ga former friend of miFne
and I hate to speak so fAmree
but you mean nothing to Gme
so if the street lights they shine bFright
I&Gamp;#8217;ll geCt home tonight
3.
CI guess by the dim light in your eyes
and that to yFou all things come as a surprise
I should Cset the steel trap of your thighs and dFive right Cin
Cbut to you I’m just a confused child
Ginsecure or in denial
Fgo raise your robes and hold your trial IC’lGl let you win
Fyou know I cGould be anyoCne
god forGgive what I should&F#8217;ve done
my thoughts eGnough to guilty Cbe
Fyes I gGuess I made this bCed
but I&G;#8217;ll take the sFidewalk instead
that’Gs how we deal with Cboys like me
Refrain:
but dGespite what you’C;ve bGeen told
I once had a sFoul
left somewhere behCind
Ga former friend of miFne
and I hGate to sound so tAmrue
but I mean nothing to yGou
so if the street lights they shine bFright
I&Gamp;#8217;ll geCt homGe FtoCniGghFt
