[Intro]
Am C Em D
[Verse 1]
Am C Em D
I'm so tired of your illusions, rules never change
Am C Em D
And my mind is so abusive, taking on the shapes
Am C
When it comes to your love, is it unconditional?
Em D
When it comes to my love, anything is fixable
Am C Em D
And all these noises, so relentless I need a second to breath
[Chorus]
Am C
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
Em D
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Am C
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Am
Fathers watch them go
C
Fathers watch them go
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
[Verse 2]
Am C Em D
I'm no longer taking lessons from those who broke before
Am C Em D
Now that I am done confessing the words that left me sore
Am C
When you feel the restless pain, as it crawls out of your heart
Em D
And the thoughts of yesterday bring you to where you are
Am C Em D
All these voices, the once controlling, can't contain me
[Chorus]
Am C
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
Em D
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Am C
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Am
Fathers watch them go
C
Fathers watch them go
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
[Bridge]
Am
Tell me how it feels to win it
C
Has it gone according to your plan?
Em
Do you wish that you'd forget it?
D
Or, or to feel less like a human?
Am C Em
Boys don't cry, not a man am I
D Am
Not a day goes by that I've had to lie
C Em D Am
I was before since I closed that door and it's all white noise that boys must be boys
[Chorus]
Am C
Cause if boys will be boys, we do the best that we can
Em D
Cover for our brothers while we suffer from our own hands
Am C
Boys will be boys, that's the way that this thing goes
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Am
Fathers watch them go
C
Fathers watch them go
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
Am
Fathers watch them go
C
Fathers watch them go
Em D
Mothers lose their sons and their fathers watch them go
