        E         F                     E       Am 
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 
           E          F            G            Am 
Forgive me   any pain  I may have brung to you 
           E           F               G            F 
With God's help I know   I'll always be near to you 
                  G                     A 
but Jesus hurt me   When He deserted me  but
[Refrain]
          Dm          F                G 
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
[Strophe]
      E                         F           E                   Am 
I was good kid through hail and snow I'd go   just to moon you  
             E                F                    G                      F 
I carried my heart in my hand   do you understand?   do you understand? 
                  G                     A 
but Jesus hurt me   when He deserted me  but
[Refrain]
          Dm          F                G 
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
[Pont]
Am                 E 
Monday-humiliation  Tuesday-suffocation 
F                       E 
Wednesday-condescension  Thursday-is pathetic 
   Am             E 
by Friday-Life has killed me 
   F              E 
by Friday-Life has killed me
[Interlude]
Dm         Am 
Oh pretty world 
Dm         E 
Oh pretty world
[Strophe]
           Am                  E                  F 
why did you give me so much desire? when there is nowhere I can go 
   E                                   Am 
to offload this desire? and why did you give me so much love 
    E                             F 
in a loveless world? when there's no one I can turn to 
   E                                    Am 
to unlock all this love and why did you stick me in 
                 E                 F         E 
self-deprecating bones and skin Jesus-do you hate me? 
            Am                           E 
why did you stick me in self-deprecating bones and skin 
                       F 
do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me? 
        E                        Am 
do you hate me? do you hate me?
