[Verse]
G           D
 When I was born they looked at me and said
C
 what a good boy what a smart boy what a strong boy
G                   D
 And when you were born they looked at you and said
C
 what a good girl what a smart girl what a pretty girl
G                   D                        C
 We've got these chains that hang around our necks
 
 people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
G          D                             C
 Afraid of change afraid of staying the same
 
 when temptation calls we just look away
 
 
[Chorus]
G                  D
 This name is the hairshirt I wear
           C                                 D
 and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
G                   D
 This song is the cross that I bear
     C
bear with me bear with me bear with me
D                   G    G/F#   Em   C
be with me tonight
                           G    G/F#   Em   C
I know that it isn't right
 
but be with me tonight
 
 
G           D             C
 I go to school I write exams
 
 if I pass if I fail if I drop out does anyone give a damn
G            D                   C
 And if they do they'll soon forget
 
 cause it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet
G            D                 C
 I wake up scared I wake up strange
 
 I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change
G            D           Em
 I wake up scared I wake up strange
     C                            G
 and everything around me stays the same
 
 
[Chorus]
         D
its the hairshirt I wear
          C                                     D          G
and this hairshirt is woven from, is woven from your brown hair
                   D
This song is the cross that I bear
     C
bear with me bear with me bear with me
D                   G    G/F#   Em   C
be with me tonight
                            G    G/F#   Em   C       G    G/F#   Em   C
I know that it isn't right
 
but be with me tonight
 
 
G            D
 I couldn't tell you that I was wrong
C
 chickened out grabbed a pen and paper sat down and I wrote this song
G            D
 I couldn't tell you that you were right
C
 so instead I looked in the mirror watched TV laid awake all night
G                   D                   C
 We've got these chains hang 'round our necks
 
 people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath
G           D                            C
 Afraid of change afraid of staying the same
 
 when temptation calls
 
 
[Chorus]
G                  D
 This name is the hairshirt I wear
          C                                                      D
and this hairshirt is woven from - is woven from - is woven from hair
G                   D
 This song is the cross that I bear
     C
bear with me bear with me bear with me
D
be with me tonight
 
G             D
  When I was born they looked at me and said
C
  What a good boy what a smart boy what a strong boy
G                    D
  And when you were born they looked at you and said
Em                        C                              G
  what a good girl what a smart girl what a pretty girl hey
