F# G# D
I'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
F# G# D
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
F# G# D
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
F# G# D
Do you have something to hide? 'Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside, back up and give me some room
A
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
D
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
A
They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
D
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
F#
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
D
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
A
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
D
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
A B F# D
F# G# D
Don't start to panic for me, 'cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
F# G# D
Up on the side of the field I see a city with lights
I touch her face when I kneel, she tells me she's not alive
F# G# D
I am too nervous to run, the kids who scatter and hide
Still reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
F# G# D
Her world is waiting for me, a world that I rarely used
I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move
A
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
D
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
A
They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde

Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
