Em I'm wishing the bathwater clean G She hides in the back and is unseen Bm I take off this mask that surrounds me F# Look me in the face, what do you see? Em I feel like a boy the age of 13 G My body grows up Bm But my mind stays the same F# Look me in the face, what do you see? D F# How do you tell an angel Bm G That you don't believe in God? D F# Why do I feel like such a stranger Bm G I look around, I look around, and all my friends are gone Chorus: D But oh would you be me? F# Because I would be you Bm Oh you'd be happy G Only if you wanted to D And how would you treat me? F# Because I would treat you Bm Oh you'd be happy G Only if you wanted to How do you tell your father That you want him to notice you? Why does this seem like such a bother? When mom says you'd be better off dead But I want to see you, I still wanna see you Chorus: Oh. would you call me? Oh, it's not hard to I'm the first one Oh, you gave birth to And oh, would you write me On my birthday? Graduation was yesterday Yesterday, oh How do you hold the special victim When they push you away? When they've been raped on the inside Torn on the outside? The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide Touched in private places, embarrassed faces Too scared to ask for help Chorus: Oh, would you be me? Because I would be you Oh, you'd be happy Only if you wanted to And how would you treat me? Because I would treat you You'd be happy Only if you wanted to I'm wishing the bath water clean She hides in the back and is unseen I take off the mask that surrounds me Look me in the face, what do you see?
