C#m They're walking around, head full of sound E Acting like we don't exist C#m They walk in the room and stare right through you E C#m E Talking like we don't exist, but we exist C#m Daddy it's true; I'm different from you E But tell me why they treat me like this C#m If you turned away, what would I say? E Not the first betrayed by a kiss Chorus: A G#m Maybe it's true, they're staring at you C# When you walk in the room A G#m Tell them it's fine, stare if you like C# E F# C#m E Just let us through, just let us through They're down on their knees, begging us please Praying that we don't exist Daddy it's fine, I'm used to 'em now But tell me why they treat me like this? It's ‘cause we do it like this Chorus A F#m C# Let them stare! Let them stare! E A If that's all they can do! G#m C# But I'd lose my heart E A If I turned away from you Oh, Daddy don't turn away You know that I'm so scared But will you watch me drown? You know we're going nowhere We know that we're young And no shit we're confused But will you watch us drown? What are you so afraid to lose?
