Front Porch Step - Island Of The Misfit Boy Chords

C0
0I love to sleep cause I pretend that I'm dead,
E1
1But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget,
Am2                                                 F3       G4
2That I've lost all control of this life I've held so dear.
     C5
3And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
        E6
4I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
     Am7                                          F8     G9
5And I hope the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
       C10
6Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny,
  E11
7I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly,
 Am12                                                 F13
8I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
          C14
9Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
  E15
10I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more,
  Am16                                             F17
11I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.

           C18
14I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
  E19
15I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
    Am20
16And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
     F21
17From thrusting my head straight through the xxxxing glass.
       C22
18And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
    E23
19And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
       Am24
20That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
    F25                             G26
21But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.

        C32
24Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck,
      E33
25And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as xxxx.
     Am34
26So I sit on the floor and gather my thoughts,
            F35
27And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off.
     C36
28Well I lost control when I only a boy,
    E37
29The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
    Am38
30Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breath,
        F39                                     G40
31Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.
