Intro
Bm D F#m E
[Verse 1]
Bm D F#m E
I'm so tired of your illusions, rules never change
Bm D F#m E
And my mind is so abusive, taking on the shapes
Bm D
When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?
F#m E
When it comes to my love, anything is fixable
Bm D F#m E
And all these noises, so relentless I need a second to breath
[Chorus]
Bm D
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
F#m E
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Bm D
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Bm
Fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
[Verse 2]
Bm D F#m E
I'm no longer taking lessons from those who broke before
Bm D F#m E
Now that I am done confessing the words that left me sore
Bm D
When you feel the restless pain, as it crawls out of your heart
F#m E
And the thoughts of yesterday bring you to where you are
Bm D F#m E
All these voices, the once controlling, can't contain me
[Chorus]
Bm D
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
F#m E
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Bm D
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Bm
Fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
[Bridge]
Bm
Tell me how it feels to win it
D
Has it gone according to your plan?
F#m
Do you wish that you'd forget it?
E
Or, or to feel less like a human?
Bm D F#m
Boys don't cry, not a man am I
E Bm
Not a day goes by that I've had to lie
D F#m E Bm
I was before since I closed that door and it's all white noise that boys must be boys
[Chorus]
Bm D
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
F#m E
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Bm D
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Bm
Fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Bm
Fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
F#m E
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
