 Verse 1:
 A                   D       
 I'm gnawing on the knowledge
      A            D   
 That I have been burnt
          A                   D 
 And I'm learning things that I
           A        D    
 Should've already learnt
 A          D        
 Everyone I ever knew
 A                D 
 Was so kind and coy
 A             D  
 I was with a girl
 A                              D 
 But it felt like I was with a boy
 
 Chorus:
 A                    
 I can't even remember
 D                 
  If we were lovers
    A                E 
 Or if I just wanted to
        A                 
 But I held her in my arms
    D                 
 I held her in my arms
    A                 
 I held her in my arms
                E 
 But it wasn't you
 
 Verse 2:
 A           D  
 I will not kill
      A                D  
 The one thing that I love
 A                   D    
 In this world of wreckage
 A        D  
 I look above
 A        D  
 Help me Lord
 A              D  
 Help me understand
 A                D       
 What it means to be a boy
 A                D       
 What it means to be a man
