      [Refrain]
         E
I am the son and the heir
     G               A6            E
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
                                              G A6
I am the son and heir of nothing in particular

[Chorus]
Asus2 Cmaj7         G
       You shut your mouth
    Dmaj7   Bsus4 D6/9                E
How can you say I go about things the wrong way?
     Asus2      Cmaj7      G    Dmaj7
I am human and I need to be loved
Bsus4     D6/9               E
Just like everybody else does

[Refrain]
         E
I am the son and the heir
     G               A6
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
                 E                            G
I am the son and heir of nothing in particular

[Chorus]
Asus2 Cmaj7         G
      You shut your mouth
    Dmaj7   Bsus4 D6/9                E
How can you say I go about things the wrong way?
     Asus2       Cmaj7      G    Dmaj7
I am human and I need to be loved
Bsus4     D6/9               E
Just like everybody else does

[Interlude]
Asus2     Cmaj7                  G Dmaj7
There's a club, if you'd like to go
               Bsus4    D6/9       E
You could meet somebody who really loves you
       Asus2                    Cmaj7
So you go and you stand on your own
G                     Dmaj7
And you leave on your own
        Bsus4           D6/9                   E
And you go home and you cry and you want to die

Asus2    Cmaj7                      G Dmaj7
When you say "it's gonna happen now"
Bsus4  D6/9              E
When exactly do you mean?
         Asus2   Cmaj7      G   Dmaj7
See I've already waited too long
Bsus4 D6/9         E
And all my hope is gone

[Chorus]
Asus2 Cmaj7         G
      You shut your mouth
    Dmaj7   Bsus4 D6/9                E
How can you say I go about things the wrong way?
     Asus2       Cmaj7      G    Dmaj7
I am human and I need to be loved
Bsus4     D6/9               E
Just like everybody else does
