Strum
D-DU-UDU
Again  I let jealousy blind  me today.
My  oldest friend  and I blew  her away.
Just  a few kind words  and all  I could say  was I've  known you of ten years
it  feels like a day.
And  oh I watched her cry, torn  apart at the hands  of a child.
 And  again I used arrogance  as something  to depend
 and  condemned all religion  to pitiless end.
 And a politician's  resonance  rang  through my  mind.
Patriotic  in one sense the other  just blind.
Oh  so many died,  torn  apart at the hands  of a child
And  I'll keep on going  I've got nothing  to lose.
I  gave up morals  when I  took up you
and  it's boring to hear  of another  young truth
 and what  typically shit  thing to  do.
 I was so shallow to the one man'd stuck around
 sunk so low that I nearly drowned
 and I screamed of his heart when he wasn't around
 Consoled him recklessly, I knew you were down.
 Oh I watched him cry, a broken heart at the hands of a child.
 And I'll keep on going I've got nothing to lose
 I gave up morals when I took up you
 and its boring to hear, of another young truth
 and what a typically shit thing to do.
I  have felt heartbreak too  and I know what it feels  like.
I  have felt heartbreak now  you can leave me alone  right.
I  have felt loneliness  and I know what it feels  like.
 (SAME CHORDS AS USUAL)
 But kept on going I had nothing to lose,
 and I gave up morals when I took up booze.
 And it's boring to hear of another young truth
 and what a typically shit thing to do.
