[Verse]
Ab5
   I'm like a cat in a cage,
              A#5
locked up and battered and bruised
E5
  I am the prodigal son,
a shameful prodigy too
Ab5
   I am the love of your life,
          A#5
battering ram and confused
E5
  I turn each day into night,
I stand there waiting for you
Ab5
   There is desire to fight,
           A#5
but I have nothing to prove
E5
  With the crowd and some lights,
I start to feel things move
Ab5                                              A#5
   Do you have something to hide? 'Cause I think that we
all do
E5
  I am a child inside,
back up and give me some room

[Chorus]
B5
  I'm just a bastard child,
don't let it go to your head
E5
  I'm just a waste of your time,
maybe I'm better off dead
B5
  You turn us loose in the night,
I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E5
  We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying
inside
Ab5
   So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5
  Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
B5
  So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5
  Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home

[Verse 2]
Ab5
   Don't start to panic for me,
              A#5
'cause I have nothing to lose
E5
  I am as bright as the sun,
I burn up all that I choose
Ab5                                 A#5
   Upon the side of a field I see a city with lights
E5
  I touch her face and I kneel,
she tells me she's not alive
Ab5
   I am too nervous to run,
              A#5
like kids who scatter and hide
E5
  To reach and grab for someone,
but end up buried alive
Ab5
   A world is waiting for me,
            A#5
a road that I  rarely use
E5
  I start to feel my feet,
they kick down walls as they move

[Chorus]
B5
  I'm just a bastard child,
don't let it go to your head
E5
  I'm just a waste of your time,
maybe I'm better off dead
B5
  You turn us loose in the night,
I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E5
  We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying
inside
Ab5
   So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5
  Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
B5
  So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5
  Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home

B5
  I'm just a bastard child,
don't let it go to your head
E5
  I'm just a waste of your time,

  You turn us loose in the night,
I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E5
  We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying
inside
Ab5
   So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5
  Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
B5
  So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5
  Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home
