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

Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
A#m
Fathers watch them go
C#
Fathers watch them go
Fm D#
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
