C#m
They're walking around, head full of sound
             E
Acting like we don't exist
C#m
They walk in the room and stare right through you
              E                      C#m E
Talking like we don't exist, but we exist

C#m
Daddy it's true; I'm different from you
                       E
But tell me why they treat me like this
   C#m
If you turned away, what would I say?
                  E
Not the first betrayed by a kiss

Chorus:
A                        G#m
Maybe it's true, they're staring at you
         C#
When you walk in the room
 A                    G#m
Tell them it's fine, stare if you like
 C#                 E F#                C#m E
Just let us through, just let us through

They're down on their knees, begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
Daddy it's fine, I'm used to 'em now
But tell me why they treat me like this?
It's ‘cause we do it like this

Chorus

A          F#m             C#
Let them stare! Let them stare!
     E                    A
If that's all they can do!
        G#m      C#
But I'd lose my heart
      E                A
If I turned away from you

Oh, Daddy don't turn away
You know that I'm so scared
But will you watch me drown?
You know we're going nowhere

We know that we're young
And no shit we're confused
But will you watch us drown?
What are you so afraid to lose?

C#
Down on your knees begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
Down on your knees begging us please
Praying that we don't exist

     B       C#         C#m B
But we exist!  We exist!

C#
Down on your knees begging us please
             C#m            B
Praying that we don't exist
C#
Down on your knees begging us please
             C#m
Praying that we don't exist

     B      C#           C#m
But we exist! We exist!
B        C#        C#m
We exist! We exist!
