Em                       C
Since then I never feel helpless, recess,
 Em               C
this mess if you do
And I find that even time well spent
Gets bent if you need it to,
    Em C
we do
By now I've showed you how much
I believe in the here
And now and I wish that you knew

Chorus:
    Em       D       C
Lay all you want on me
    Em       D       C
Lay all you want on me
    Em       D    A  
Lay all you want on me
               C       D Em D C
I'll be your whipping boy

You spilled your purse onto my bed
Searching for something for your head
Since then you never come clean
I mean you wish you only could

Chorus:
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
Lay all you want on me
I'll be your whipping boy
