Front Porch Step - Island of the Misfit Boy

      
 
 <i></i>C
 I love to sleep cause I pretend that I'm dead,
 E                                              
 But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget,
 Am                                                 F      G 
 That I've lost all control of this life I've held so dear.
      C                                          
 And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
         E                                                    
 I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
      Am                                          F    G 
 And I hope the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
        C                                                 
 Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny,
   E                                                
 I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly,
  Am                                                 F  
 I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
           C                                        
 Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
   E                                                      
 I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more,
   Am                                             F 
 I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.
 
            C                                      
 I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
   E                                             
 I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
     Am                                      
 And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
 F 
  
        C                                           
 And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
     E                                          
 And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
        Am                                                    
 That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
     F                             G                       
 But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
 
 C E Am F G 
      
         C                                         
 Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck,
       E                                     
 And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as f**k.
      Am                                      
 So I sit on the floor and gather my thoughts,
             F                                             
 And they're full of broken promises that only p**s me off.
      C                                
 Well I lost control when I only a boy,
     E                                         
 The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
     Am                                        
 Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breath,
         F                                     G  
 Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.

            C                                      
 I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
   E                                             
 I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
     Am                                      
 And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
 F 
  
        C                                           
 And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
     E                                          
 And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
        Am                                                    
 That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
     F                             G                       G 
 But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
