 V1.
 I was a good  kid  I wouldn't do you no  harm
 I was a nice  kid  with a nice paper-round
 Forgive me  any pain  I may have brung  to you
 With God's help  I know  I'll always be  near to you
 but Jesus hurt me  When He deserted me  but
 I have forgiven  Jesus  for all the desire
 He placed in me when there's nothing  I can do with this desire
 V2.
 I was good  kid through hail and snow  I'd go  just to moon you
 I carried my heart  in my hand  do you understand?  do you understand?
 but Jesus hurt me  when He deserted me  but
 I have forgiven  Jesus  for all of the love  he placed in me
 when there's no  one I can turn to with this  love
Monday-humiliation  Tuesday-suffocation
Wednesday-condescension  Thursday-is pathetic
 by Friday-Life  has  killed me
 by Friday-Life  has  killed me
 Key Change Interlude:
Oh  pretty world
Oh  pretty world
 End piece:
 why did you  give me so much desire?  when there is nowhere  I can go
 to offload  this desire? and why did you  give me so much love
 in a  loveless world? when there's no  one I can turn to
 to unlock  all this love and why did you stick  me in
 self-deprecating bones  and skin Jesus-do  you hate  me?
 why did you stick  me in self-deprecating bones  and skin
 do you hate me? do you hate  me? do you hate me?
 do you hate  me? do you hate me?
 Outro contains the organ too.That's pretty much it.Thanks.
