B           F#                 B        F#
I guess by now you're feeling sorry for me
Well that's the way this story's meant to be
Take a look around, you won't see much that's right
Your kid might be in the Boy Scouts,
but he's kicking queers at night

Chorus:
 D                 G
Tell me a single thing life teaches you
Tell me a single death that reaches you
You deny you've got a soul to preach to
Try and save him, I beseech you

B                              G
I've done all I can, he never cut his hair
   B                      Am      G
I washed my hands of the whole affair
  D                   Cm      A#
Twenty years in jail seems a little harsh
       D             Cm       A#     Fsus4 F
But I bow to the law and the chosen path

G#maj7           Gsus4/C G/D
 Is it me, for a moment
Cm    Cm/A#     G#maj7
  The stars are falling
D#        Cm7 G#maj9  D#       Cm7 G#maj9
  The heat is rising, the past is calling

I guess by now you're feeling sorry for him
Well that's OK, 'cause they put him in the bin
Take a look around, take a walk out in the park
You can still see all the old ladies scared stiff of the dark

Tell me

Fmaj7                   Cmaj7         D
    Some nights I still sleep on the beach
Fmaj7              Cmaj7         D
    Remember when stars were in reach
