G#m
I'm like a cat in a cage locked
        F#  
up and battered and bruised
E
I am the prodigal son
a shameful prodigy too
G#m
I am the love of your life
           F#  
battering ram and confused
E
I turn each day into night
I stand there waiting for you
G#m
There is desire to fight but
        F#  
I have nothing to prove
E
With the crowd and some lights
I start to feel things move
G#m
Do you have something to hide?
               F#  
Cause I think that we all do
E
I am a child inside back up
and give me some room

Chorus:
B
I'm just a bastard child
don't let it go to your head
E
I'm just a waste of your time
maybe I'm better off dead
B
They turn us loose in the night
a fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E
We'll have the time of our lives
although we're dying inside
G#m
So let me go go
So let me go go
E
Just let me go go
I'd rather go it alone
B
So let me go go
So let me go go
E
Just let me go go
I'm never coming home

G#m
Don't start to panic for me
              F#  
cause I have nothing to lose
E
I am as bright as the sun
I burn up all that I choose
G#m
Up on the side of the field
         F#  
I see a city with lights
E
I touch her face when I kneel
she tells me she's not alive
G#m
I am too nervous to run
               F#  
the kids who scatter and hide
E
Still reach and grab for
someone but end up buried alive
G#m
Her world is waiting for me
              F#  
a world that I rarely used
E
I start to feel my feet
they kick down walls as they move
