[Intro]
Am G F  x4


[Verse 1]
F         Dm   E
  And its prejudiced
F          Dm         Am      F
  As he controlled to be this way
           Dm           E
To make it different so he would take


[Chorus 1]
Am           F
  One summer morning
            C
He left us ashamed
              Dm            Am
In some small town of small ways
             F
The one they feared
                    C
They might turn to stone
                        Dm
They feared to hold his hand
             Am  F C Dm
And he died alone
             Am  F C Dm
And he died alone


[Verse 2]
F                           Am
  They might turn to stone alone
F
  Don't leave them on an island of shame


[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2]
Am F
    Your solution
C
  You homophobic
    Dm
You coward
               Am F C                Dm
You send them away   to an island of misery


[Chorus 3]
Am                   F
You're not immune to any disease
C                          Dm
  I can not argue when the truth is plain to see
Am                     F
  In your beliefs your fear of death
C                        Dm
  I see reflections of society


[Verse 3]
F                             Am
  We'll take our last breath alone
F
  Don't leave them on an island of shame


[Instrumental]
Am G F  x2


[Bridge]
Am             G
Open your Eyes its all inside
F             G
Adding insult to injuries
Am
Cause deep inside
G
Where truth then hides
F            E
Its not that kind
        Am  C Dm E Am C Dm E
He was alone


[Outro]
F         Dm   E
  And its prejudiced
F          Dm         Am      F
  As he controlled to be this way
           Dm           E         F
To make it different so he would take
        Dm   Am
And its prejudiced
F         Dm   E
  And its prejudiced
F          Dm         Am      F
  As he controlled to be this way
           Dm           E         F
To make it different so he would take
              Dm             Am
They like to stab him in the back
