[Verse 1]
E B7 C#m G#
I had so many things to tell you, right before you left,
A E F#7 B7
But you wouldn’t hear them so it here goes I guess,
[Chorus]
E B7 C#m G#
I wish that I was different, I wish you weren’t insane,
A E F# B7
I wish that I could hand-out more than my fair share of blame,
E B7 C#m G#
But ain’t nobody changing, and it ain’t nobody’s fault,
A E F# B7
When you hurt a child, they grow up to hurt adults, (hurt ‘em now)
[Verse 2]
E B7 C#m G#
I spend too much time sleeping, twelve hours a day, (day)
A E F#7 B7
Hoping you’ll come to me in my dreams, and you’ll say
[Chorus]
E B7 C#m G#
I wish that I was different, I wish you weren’t insane,
A E F# B7
I wish that I could hand-out more than my fair share of blame,
E B7 C#m G#
But ain’t nobody changing, and it ain’t nobody’s fault,
A E F# B7
When you hurt a child, they grow up to hurt adults,
[Bridge]
E B7 C#m G#
And when you are dreaming, I hope you dream of me,
A E F# B7
Playing you off to sleep with a sweet, clear melody
[Verse 3]
E B7 C#m G#
Maybe you could help me, there’s a favor you could do,
A E F# B7
Promise me you’ll dream of me, like I dream of you
E B7 C#m G#
How long has it been, six months or seven years?
A E F# B7
I don’t know where we went wrong, so I’ll have me eight more beers,
[Final Chorus]
E B7 C#m G#
And I wish that we were different, I wish we weren’t insane,
A E F# B7
I wish that I could hand-out more than our fair share of blame,
E B7 C#m G#
But ain’t nobody changing (changing), and it ain’t nobody’s fault (no fault),
A E F# B7
When you hurt a child, they grow up to hurt adults.
[Sirens]
E B7 C#m G#
