Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
E G/E Aadd9/E E
G/E Aadd9/E E
I am the son

[Verse 1]
And the heir
G/E Aadd9/E E
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
G/E Aadd9/E
Of nothing in particular

[Chorus]
Asus2 C7M/E G A6/E
You shut your mouth How can
Esus2
you say
E7sus4 E
I go about things the wrong way?
Asus2 C7M/E G A6/E
I am human and I need to be loved
Esus2 E7sus4 E
Just like everybody else does

[Bridge]
E G/E Aadd9/E E G/E Aadd9/E E
I am the son

[Verse 2]
And the heir
G/E Aadd9/E E
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
G/E Aadd9/E
Of nothing in particular

[Chorus]

You shut your mouth How can
Esus2
you say
E7sus4 E
I go about things the wrong way?

[Interlude]
Asus2 C7M/E G A6/E
There’s a club if you’d like to go
Esus2 E7sus4 E
You could meet somebody who really loves you
Asus2 C7M/E
So you go and you stand on your own
G A6/E
And you leave on your own
Esus2 E7sus4
And you go home and you cry
E
And you want to die

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Asus2 C7M/E G A6/E
When you say it’s gonna happen “now”
Esus2 E7sus4
Well when exactly do you mean?
E Asus2 C7M/E G A6/E
See I’ve already waited too long
Esus2 E7sus4 E
And all my hope is gone
