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