[Verse 1]
A#
I am the boy your mother wanted you to meet but I am
Gm
broken and torn with heels at my feet
D#
And with your purest light why don't you shine on me

A#
Now as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer

D# A#
Oh, if your eyes water, you've got your favorite number to spin
[Chorus]

what a crying shame, a crying shame
A# F A#
What we became
[Verse 3]

A#
