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