[Verse 1]
Fm G# Cm A#
I'm so tired of your illusions, rules never change
Fm G# Cm A#
And my mind is so abusive, taking on the shapes
Fm G#
When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?
Cm A#
When it comes to my love, anything is fixable
Fm G# Cm A#
And all these noises, so relentless I need a second to breath
[Chorus]
Fm G#
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
Cm A#
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Fm G#
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
Cm A#
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Fm
Fathers watch them go
G#
Fathers watch them go
Cm A#
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
[Verse 2]
Fm G# Cm A#
I'm no longer taking lessons from those who broke before
Fm G# Cm A#
Now that I am done confessing the words that left me sore
Fm G#
When you feel the restless pain, as it crawls out of your heart
Cm A#
And the thoughts of yesterday bring you to where you are
Fm G# Cm A#
All these voices, the once controlling, can't contain me
[Chorus]
Fm G#
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
Cm A#
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands

Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes

[Bridge]
Fm
Tell me how it feels to win it
G#
Has it gone according to your plan?
Cm
Do you wish that you'd forget it?
A#
Or, or to feel less like a human?
Fm G# Cm
Boys don't cry, not a man am I
A# Fm
Not a day goes by that I've had to lie
G# Cm A# Fm
I was before since I closed that door and it's all white noise that boys must be boys
[Chorus]
Fm G#
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
Cm A#
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Fm G#
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
