D A G
When I was born, they looked at me and said
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
D A G
And when you were born, they looked at you and said
What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl
D A G
We've got these chains that hang around our necks
People want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
When temptation calls, we just look away
CHORUS:
D A
This name is the hairshirt I wear
G
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
D A
This song is the cross that I bear
G
Bear it with me, Bear with me, Bear with me
RIFF 1
Be with me tonight
RIFF 1
I know that it isn't right
But be with me tonight
