Am
Father, don't blame us for trying to live
Fmaj7 F            Dm           E
For trying to love, for wanting more
Am
Father, don't blame us for trying to bleed
Fmaj7                  Dm          E
Like real human beings and nothing more

[Verse 1]
Am                              E
Why did you dress our pleasure up as greed?
F                                      Dm                E
While you're limiting our love, taking sunlight from the seed?
Am                         Em             E
Why did you give us hearts we don't understand
F                                     Dm           E
Like an apple in our hand that you'll never let us have?


[Pre-Chorus]
      Dm
And I hear you don't like it
        E
I don't care if you don't


[Chorus]
Am                     E
Father, don't blame us for trying to live
F                  Dm           E
For trying to love, for wanting more
Am                                   G#
Father, don't blame us for trying to bleed
F                     Dm           E
Like real human beings and nothing more

[Verse 2]
Am                     E
Oh, do you еnvy how I'm free?
        F                           Dm                   E
How the life in me is rеal, running barefoot through the fields?
Am                   Fm    Gm                 E
Oh, does it hurt how I don't look at you with fear?
F                                         Dm               E
Do you like to watch me kneel, 'cause the way it makes you feel?


[Pre-Chorus]
      Dm
And I hear you don't like it
        E
I don't care if you don't

Father, don't blame us for trying to live

You can burn the skin I live in
F                 Dm      E      Am
But you cannot burn the witch away
