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