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