VERSE 1
(D)   D    A
I was born old
       Bm           F#m
I grew up but I got younger
      Bm        F#m
I was torn, and cold
        Bm                    A
Now I’m fine but there’s this hunger
      G              A
And a thirst for the days
       D          E
Before I went and razed it all
G  A   D
To the ground
 
VERSE 2
(D)   D          A
Got a job, found God
      Bm              F#m
I did everything they told me
            Bm                F#m
Spoiled the child, spared the rod
          Bm             A
And found someone new to hold me
           G             A
Though the love’s not as real
        D         E
As what I used to feel when it
G   A    D
All went wrong
 
INSTRUMENTAL

La da da da dum ba da,

La da da da dum ba da

VERSE 3
(D)     D          A
She was young, not scared
        Bm           F#m
She was everything I wanted
      Bm         F#m
I was dumb, unprepared
       Bm              A
Had no idea that I was haunted
       G           A              D         E
By the ghosts of a life the night I hid the knives
       G   A    D
And it all went wrong
 
VERSE 4
(D)     D   A             Bm          F#m
It’s an old wound, but it opened in a new way
     Bm   F#m       Bm               A
In a rest room in a rest stop on the thruway
       G            A
So she calls up her parents
     D            E
And admits with embarrassment
G    A  Bm
She was wrong
 
BRIDGE
G                A
Speaking of your mother
D              B7
This is how it goes:
         Em             A
When the world gets you down
     Bm
I suppose
B7                         G
You can fly away somewhere else
(G)            A
Of your own volition
D             B7
Of your own accord
            Em               A
When you’re sad, when you’re angry
            Bm
When you’re bored,
       B7                            G
You’ve got to do what’s best for yourself
(G)     A            D           B7
Ooo ooo ooooo ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo
G           A
La da da da dum
 
VERSE 5
   D              A
I awoke; you were gone
          Bm                F#m
There was nothing left to hold onto
      Bm           F#m
I was blind, I was wrong
            Bm            A
But I could find you if I want to
     G          A
So I fly to the coast where
    D             E
The boys you love most
       G   A   D
Sing into your eyes
 
VERSE 6
(D)   D             A
I was lost, now I’m found
      Bm                F#m
I can see, but miss the blindness
          Bm     F#m
Here’s my cross; pound
          Bm                     A
It’s your mouth, your kiss, your kindness
       G            A
My stigmata’s the regret for how
D            E            G  A  Bm
I could have let it all / Go so wrong
 
OUTRO
          G           A
I’m going back to the place
           D             E
Where they laughed in my face
         G   A     D  Bm      G    A     Bm
When it all went / All went / All went wrong
        G   A
Yes, it all went - 
      D             Bm
Isn’t this what you wanted, darling?
G   A
All went...
