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