[Intro]
Gbm E Dbm D (x2)
[Verse]
Gbm E
I'm so tired of your illusions
Dbm D
Rules never change
Gbm E
And my mind is so abusive
Dbm D
Taking on the shapes
Gbm E
When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?
Dbm D
When it comes to my love, anything is fixable
D
And all these noises so relentless
D
I need a second to breathe
[Chorus]
D
Cause if boys will be boys
Gbm
We do the best that we can
A E
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
D Gbm
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
A
When mothers lose their sons
E
And their fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
Gbm
Fathers watch them go
A
When mothers lose their sons
E
And fathers watch them go
[Verse]
Gbm E Dbm D
I'm no longer taking lessons from those who broke before
Gbm E Dbm D
Now that I am done confessing the words have left me sore
Gbm
When you feel the restless pain
E
As it crawls out of your heart
Dbm
And the thoughts of yesterday
D
Bring you to where you are
D
All these voices that once controlled me can't contain me here
[Chorus]
D
Cause if boys will be boys
Gbm
And we do the best that we can
A E
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
D Gbm
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
A
When mothers lose their sons
E
And their fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
Gbm
Fathers watch them go
A
When mothers lose their sons
E
And fathers watch them go
[Bridge]
D E
Tell me how it feels to win it
Gbm A
Has it gone according to your plan?
D E
Do you wish that you'd forget it or?
Gbm A
Or do you feel less like a human?
D E Gbm
Ooh if boys don't cry not a man am I
A D
Not a day goes by that I've had to lie
Who I was before
E Gbm
Since I closed that door
And it's all white noise
Gbm
That boys must be boys
[Chorus]
D
Cause if boys will be boys
Gbm
And we do the best that we can
A E
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
D Gbm
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
A
When mothers lose their sons
E
And their fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
Gbm
Fathers watch them go
A
When mothers lose their sons
E
And fathers watch them go
D
Fathers watch them go
Gbm
Fathers watch them go
A
When mothers lose their sons
E
And fathers watch them go
[Outro]
