[Verse 1]
C
I am the boy your mother wanted you to meet but I am 
Am
broken and torn with heels at my feet
F
And with your purest light why don't you shine on me
C
Well I should have been an angel but I'm too dumb to speak
C                                          
Now as she gets nearer, the visions get clearer
Am
I'm kneeling, weeping. I will hold her dear
     F                                                     C
Oh, if your eyes water, you've got your favorite number to spin

       
[Chorus]
    Am     F        C    G  C
And oh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
              Am              F
what a crying shame, a crying shame
           C    G  C
What we became


[Verse 2] 
C
Murdered my throat, screaming bloody all night
Am
Hit him with a book and how he crumbles
F
Oh you should have seen the arches tumble
C
Their golden no more, now I'm smiling in my blood
C
I'm caught in a whirlwind
              Am
I'm going to heaven
                                            F
I'm standing on trial and it's painted on canvas
                                      C
An eternal testament to how we are so animalistic


[Chorus]
     Am    F        C    G  C
And oh,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
              Am              F
what a crying shame, a crying shame
           C    G  C
What we became


[Verse 3]
C
I bow my head in the morning light and say goodnight
Am
I held her hand and I, I kissed her eyes
F
Stumbled down the stairs and hang my self on high
C
And I started for the town, went out the front yard and died
