C D G#
I'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
C D G#
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
C D G#
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
C D G#
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
D#
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
G#
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
D#
They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
G#
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
C
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
G#
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
D#
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
G#
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
D# F C G#
C D G#
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
C D G#
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
C D G#
I am too nervous to run, the kids who scatter and hide
Still reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
C D G#
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
D#
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
G#
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
D#
They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
G#
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
C
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
G#
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
D#
So let me go, go
So let me go, go
G#
Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
