1.
well I guess by the blood stain of your lips
and the wander of your fingertips
I should prove true to my ruthlessness and stay here
but I&8217;m just a kid of ill repute
and the skin I wear&8217;s my only suit
and you you&8217;re just a substitute for[C] the one that I [G]hold dear
you know you could be anyone
god forgive my tasteless tongue
I never should have been set free
I claw my eyes I skin my face
beg somehow to be replaced
that&8217;s ho[G]w we deal with boys[C] like me
2.
well I guess for this world so sick with loss
and those who dream despite the cost
I should climb down off my rugged cross and lay with you
but you know by now it's half past late
and I only came here for escape
you you&8217;re just my next mistake
like me to you
you know you could be anyone
god forgive your unborn sons
I hope they don&8217;t end up[C] like me
I drag my mind through streets of shame
hate myself forgive the game
that&8217;s ho[G]w we deal with boys[C] li[G]ke me
but despite what you&8217;ve [C]been [G]told
I once had a soul
left somewhere behind
a former friend of mine
and I hate to speak so free
but you mean nothing to me
so if the street lights they shine bright
I& 8217;ll get ho[C]me tonight
3.
I guess by the dim light in your eyes
and that to you all things come as a surprise
I should set the steel trap of your thighs and dive right in
but to you I&8217;m just a confused child
insecure or in denial
go raise your robes and hold your trial I&8217;ll le[G]t you win
you know I could be anyone
god forgive what I should&821[F]7;ve done
my thoughts enough to guilty be
yes I guess I made this bed
but I&82[G]17;ll take the sidew[F]alk instead
that&8217;s ho[G]w we deal with boys[C] like me
but despite what you&8217;ve [C]been [G]told
I once had a soul
left somewhere behind
a former friend of mine
and I hate to sound so true
but I mean nothing to you
so if the street lights they shine bright
I& 8217;ll get ho[C]me to[G]ni[F]gh[C]t [G] [F]
