G
I know it's a simple story
But where you gonna hear another one just like this?
Another minute passing, waiting 'round for something to hit...
C
And then I start to exist, when you were looking for me
G
Why'd I have to leave and make you thought I'd run?
Maybe I need to be on something
Am
To figure out just what all this means to me
I should have played her something
Em
Shoulda said something then
C
But it's too late
I know it's a simple story
D G
Gonna have to be a man someday
Let's start a vicious cycle
Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
But then I disappear and I show up a few days later
C
With my foot in a trap
But it's only my heart that's bleeding
G
I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands
That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind
Am
And heard the beat of the band
Em C
I know I give no reason to give me something old or give me something new
Why do I even need this?
D G
Gonna have to do what I need to
Just like a teenage summer
The sun beats down and cracks the flags left and right
But it's not just the heat
C
My body and my head are full of things that keep me up on a night
Like it's only time and distance
G
You're in a black box and I can't even wait outside
You'll just have to tell me about it
Gonna have to sleep
G*
It's too light...
G
Let's start a vicious cycle
Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
But then I disappear and I show up a few days later
C
With my foot in a trap
But it's only my heart that's bleeding
G
I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands
That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind
Am
And heard the beat of the band
I know it's just a feeling
Em
Shouldn't even have these thoughts
C
But it's too late
I know it's a simple story
D
Gonna have to be a man someday
