Intro

 

Verse 1

I was a good kid I wouldn't do you no harm 
E F E Am (*)
I was a nice kid with a nice paper-round
Forgive me any pain I may have brung to you 
With God's help I know I'll always be near to you 
but Jesus hurt me When He deserted me but

Chorus

I have forgiven Jesus for all the desire
C Cadd9/C Am
He placed in me when there's nothing I can do with this desire

Verse 2

I was good kid through hail and snow I'd go just to moon you 
I carried my heart in my hand do you understand? do you understand? 
but Jesus hurt me when He deserted me but

Chorus

I have forgiven Jesus for all of the love he placed in me
C Cadd9/C
when there's no one I can turn to with this love

Bridge

Monday-humiliation Tuesday-suffocation
Wednesday-condescension Thursday-is pathetic
by Friday-Life has killed me
by Friday-Life has killed me

Key Change Interlude

Oh pretty world
Oh pretty world

Verse

why did you give me so much desire? when there is nowhere I can go
to offload this desire? and why did you give me so much love
in a loveless world? when there's no one I can turn to
to unlock all this love and why did you stick me in
self-deprecating bones and skin Jesus-do you hate me?
why did you stick me in self-deprecating bones and skin
do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me?
do you hate me? do you hate me?
