[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em]
[C]
[G][Am]
[Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I'm like a cat in a cage,
locked up [F#]and battered and b[C]ruised
I am the prodigal son,
a shameful prodigy too
[Em]I am the love of your life,
batter[F#]ing ram and conf[C]used
I turn each day into night,

[Verse 2]
I stand there waiting for you
[Em]There is desire to fight but I
[F#]have nothing [C]to prove
With the crowd and some lights,
I start to feel things move
[Em]Do you have something to hide?
'Cause I [F#]think that we all [C]do
I am a child inside,
back up and give me some [G]room

[Verse 3]
I'm just a bastard child
Don't let it go to your head
[C]I'm just a waste of your time
Maybe I'm better off [G]dead
You turned us loose in the night
I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
[C]We'll have the time of our lives
Although we're dying in[Em]side

[Verse 4]
So let me go, go
So let me go, [C]go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
[G]So let me go, go
So let me go, go
[C]Just let me go, go
I'm never coming [G]home

[Interlude 1]
[Am]
[Em][C]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Don't start to panic for me
'cause I have noth[F#]ing [C]to lose
I am as bright as the sun,
I burn up all that I choose
[Em]Up on the side of the field I
see [F#]a city with [C]lights
I touch her face when I kneel,

[Verse 6]
she tells me she's not alive
[Em]I am too nervous to run,
the kids [F#]who scatter and [C]hide
To reach and grab for someone,
but end up buried alive
[Em]The world is waiting for me,
a move that I [F#]rarely [C]use
I start to feel my feet,
they kick down walls as they [G]move

[Verse 7]
I'm just a bastard child
Don't let it go to your head
[C]I'm just a waste of your time
Maybe I'm better off [G]dead
You turned us loose in the night
I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
[C]We'll have the time of our lives

[Verse 8]
Although we're dying inside
[Em]So let me go, go
So let me go, go
[C]Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
[G]So let me go, go
So let me go, go
[C]Just let me go, go
I'm never coming [G]home

[Interlude 2]

[G][C]
[G][C]
[Em][C]
[G]I'm just a bastard child

[Verse 9]
Don't let it go to your head
[C]I'm just a waste of your time
Maybe I'm better off [G]dead
You turned us loose in the night
I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
[C]We'll have the time of our lives
Although we're dying inside
[Em]So let me go,

[Verse 10]
go
So let me go, [C]go
Just let me go, go
I'd rather go it alone
[G]So let me go, go
So let me go, go
[C]Just let me go, go
I'm never coming [G]home
