My father was a story
                  Am          G
My mother was afraid 
                     C
They didn't mean to make me
                  Am          G
But i got made anyway 
              C
Since i was a young child 
                       Am         G
I much prefferred the rain 
                       C
They asked me are you happy
                    Am
I said i can't explain
And i say

G          Am
Heatstroke yellow 
      C
Maybe strawberry blue 
    G                 Am
The strongest thing i ever felt 
    C
Was feelings for you 
   G      Am             C
So try to look me in the eye 
             G
A difficult goodbye 
   Am                C
To all the things we hide

C                     Am      G
I live my life upon a crystal ship 
C                     Am      G
Its unbelievable but i keep believing 
C                       Am     G
I never give up till the day i die 
C                       Am      G
I never give up till the day i die
I say
C                                Am           G
Every single time they come back home from the road 
      C                                 Am             G
I say tell me where you been to tell me what you gone for 
     C                              Am          G
They tell me on the road you end up losing your soul 
     C                              Am             G
I'm thinking when they made me they forgot one of those
I say

G         Am             C
Rich kids singing of the silver spoon blues  
     G               Am                  C
They tell me i can't get in cause theres just no more room 
         G        Am                C
But they lie they look me in the eye 
G                    Am
Scared of what they'd find 
C
Underneath my side uh oh

      C                  Am            G
And i hope your right so i can see the sunshine 
      C                       Am                 G
And i hope your right so cause i don't like this way 
      C                  Am                 G
And i hope your right so i can change the future
      C           Am             G
Cause i was only hiding in the rain

              C                                Am           G
