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