************************************
Tried my best. I think that some of the quick transitions between Em to D might be Em
to E7 then back to Em.
Try it out yourself and see what feels right.
Also, the lyrics were taken by the consenus of several websites.
There's a specific line that's hard to make out ("I never though I would forgive...?).
[Verse]
D Em D Em
When I was a child the world was very very big and very strange
D Em D
Now nothing seems to have changed since I was a child
Em D Em
Nervous, shy and insecure I stumbled into adulthood and it hurt
D Em D
It hurt so very much, more than I could feel
Em D Em
But mother didn't want me so she gave me to my sister like a toy
D Em D
A frightened little boy, big sister's little toy
Em D Em
But my eldest sister was the apple of my father's eye she did no wrong
D Em D
With her I did belong, she gave all her love to me
[Chorus]
Bm D G D
I could never forgive you, but I'd never forget you
Bm D Em
I could never forgive you although you did me wrong
[Verse]
D Em D Em
My sister felt my father's hand, my father's belt you know I never did
D Em D
And in the strangest way they make me feel unloved
Em D Em
Catholic school the pain the guilt my story is no different to tell
D Em D
Every young man's hell there just waiting for the bell
Em D Em
And confidence came fleetingly and left as soon the same way that it came
D Em D
Slowly out the way and left me deep in shame
Em D Em
I wish I could love myself and tell myself there's more to life than this
D Em D
I held it my in my hands, I had it in my hands
[Chorus]
Bm D G D
I could never forgive you, I could never forget you
Bm D Em
I could never forgive you although you did me wrong
[Verse]
D Em D Em
My parents said I wasn't planned, nine and eleven years between sisters and me
D Em D
They nearly gave me away, I think they did too, anyway
Em D Em
I never thought I would forgive (__________)
D Em D
They put her in a cage, I was seven years of age
Em D Em
And it could never be this when she let me stay up late she let me stay
D Em D Em
She cuddled me and said "You'll be too big for this one day."
D
"You'll be too big for this one day."
Em
Everything she touches turns to gold
D Em D Em
May I be so bold, let me know just how it feels
D Em D Em D
May I be so bold, let me know just how it feels
Em
Everything she touches turns to gold
D Em D
May I be so bold, let me know just how it feels
