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