G#                                      A#           E
I'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and battered and bruised

I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
G#                                    A#      E
I am the love of your life, battering ram and confused

I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
G#                                   A#         E
There is desire to fight, but I have nothing to prove

With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
G#                                            A#          E
Do you have something to hide? 'Cause I think that we all do

I am a child inside, back up and give me some room

B
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
E
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
B
They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside

G#
So let me go, go

So let me go, go
E
Just let me go, go

I'd rather go it alone
B
So let me go, go

So let me go, go
E
Just let me go, go

I'm never coming home

G#                                         A#         E
Don't start to panic for me, 'cause I have nothing to lose

I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
G#                                  A#        E
Up on the side of the field I see a city with lights

I touch her face when I kneel, she tells me she's not alive
G#                                    A#          E
I am too nervous to run, the kids who scatter and hide

Still reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
G#                                        A#       E
Her world is waiting for me, a world that I rarely used

I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move

B
I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
E
I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
B
They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E
We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside

G#
So let me go, go

So let me go, go
E
Just let me go, go

I'd rather go it alone
B
So let me go, go

So let me go, go
E
Just let me go, go

I'm never coming home
