[Verse 1]
G D Cadd9
When I was born, they looked at me and said
Cadd9
what a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
G D Cadd9
And when you were born, they looked at you and said,
Cadd9
what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.
G D Cadd9
We've got these chains that hang around our necks,
Cadd9
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
G D Cadd9
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same,
Cadd9
when temptation calls, we just look away.
[Chorus]
G D
This name is the hairshirt I wear,
Cadd9 D
and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
G D
This song is the cross that I bear,
Cadd9
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
D G G/F# Em C
be with me tonight,
G G/F# Em C
I know that it isn't right,
but be with me tonight.
[Verse 2]
G D Cadd9
I go to school, I write exams,
Cadd9
if I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn?
G D Cadd9
And if they do, they'll soon forget
Cadd9
'cause it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet.
G D Cadd9
I wake up scared, I wake up strange.
Cadd9
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change.
G D Em
I wake up scared, I wake up strange
Cadd9 G
and everything around me stays the same.
[Chorus]
D
...its the hairshirt I wear,
Cadd9 D
and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair.
G D
This song is the cross that I bear,
Cadd9
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
D G G/F# Em C
be with me tonight,
G G/F# Em C G G/F# Em C
I know that it isn't right,
but be with me tonight.
[Verse 3]
G D
I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,
Cadd9
chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
G D
I couldn't tell you that you were right,
Cadd9
so instead I looked in the mirror, watched TV, laid awake all night.
G D Cadd9
We've got these chains, hang 'round our necks,
Cadd9
people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath.
G D Cadd9
Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
Cadd9
when temptation calls ...
[Chorus]
G D
This name is the hairshirt I wear,
Cadd9 D
and this hairshirt is woven from - is woven from - is woven from hair
G D
This song is the cross that I bear,
Cadd9
bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me,
D
be with me tonight,
[Verse 4]
G D Cadd9
When I was born, they looked at me and said;
Cadd9
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
G D
And when you were born, they looked at you and said;
Em Cadd9 G
what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl, hey
