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