The Bully

The Lemon Twigs

Dmaj7
 
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
Shane, I'm waiting
Em7 A7
For you inside the bathroom stall
Dmaj7
Anticipating
C#m7b5 F#7
Your footsteps coming down the hall
 
[Chorus]
Em7 A7 D
As I stay still
Em7 A7 D
Something makes me ill
Em7 A7 D
My eyes grow wide until
Gm/Bb Bm F# Bm A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5
They fill with tears
 
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
Visions haunt me
Em7 A7
Just as they did when I was young
Dmaj7
My poor father
C#m7b5 F#7
Was given Robert as a son
 
[Chorus]
Em7 A7 D
Robert being me
Em7 A7 D
Shamed the family
Em7 A7 D
Slow as slow could be
Gm/Bb Bm F# Bm A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5
While his father had a PhD
 
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7
Please have mercy
Em7 A7
I'm doing everything I can
Dmaj7
Robert Senior politely
C#m7b5 F#7
Asked his son to stand
 
[Bridge]
A D
Do you wanna know why
A
Your mother died?
Em7
When you were born
A7 D B7
She couldn't bear to raise a boy like you
Em7
She just couldn't hack it
A7
Her body attacked itself
D B7
By the time the birth was through
Em7
She was gone!
A7
Gone!

[Verse 4]
Dmaj7
Shane, I waited
Em7 A7
To smash your head against the wall
Dmaj7
My self-hatred
C#m7b5 F#7
Makes me feel like no one at all
 
[Chorus]
Em7 A7 D
I'll close my eyes
Em7 A7 D
Listen to your cries
Em7 A7 D
And try to feel my size
Gm/Bb Bm F# Bm A
But my father's voice will not subside
 
[Instrumental]
