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 substitute for the oCne that I hold dGear
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’s how we dGeal with boys like Cme
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 end up like Cme
FI drag my Gmind through streets of sChame
hate myseGlf forgive the gFame
that’s how we dGeal with boys like Cme G
Refrain:
Gbut despite what you’ve been tCold G
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’Gll get home tonCight
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’ll let you Gwin
Fyou know I cGould be anyoCne
god forGgive what I should’ve dFone
my thoughts eGnough to guilty Cbe
Fyes I gGuess I made this bCed
but I’ll Gtake the sidewalk inFstead
that’s how we dGeal with boys like Cme
Refrain:
but dGespite what you’ve been tCold G
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’Gll get home tonCight G F C G F
