The Father The Son And The Homosexual

B E B


G#                  E
They called it faith
                       F#
They called it fair
                       B
They called it resolution
G#         E                           F#
I call it shit when we were alone
G#                E
They simply paid no mind
F#                     B
You'd suffered such a crime
         G#
Then there you were
    E                        F#
A mother way too soon


         G#                               F#
They said you'd made your bed
                                   E
Then they filled your head

With the sound
       B
The bells of a cathedral
G#
You say you're still ashamed
   F#
I wish that I could make it stop


        E                         B
Like salt thrown over shoulder
     G#                    B
A coin tossed in a fountain
E                   B                            F#
Not unlike a knock on wood


E   B   G#  B  E  B  F#



               G#             E
You said only in as much
            F#                        B
As you were sensitive to touch
       G#                    E                          F#
Did you feel like a human when they spoke
G#               E
And so you hid your life
F#               B
All bottled up inside
G#                    E
Just enough to make
                     F#
Your angels choke


                G#
You took all you heard
                    F#
And tried to make them your own words
          E
Only deafened by the sound
       B
The bells of a cathedral
G#                                          F#
Now you hate yourself and I wish that I could make it fucking stop


        E                         B
Like salt thrown over shoulder
     G#                    B
A coin tossed in a fountain
E                   B                            F#
Not unlike a knock on wood


E   B   G#  B  E  B  F#

E  F#  C#  G#
A   E  B


E          F#
All my life
      C#              G#
Surrounded, unfounded
A                              E
Teachings taught as threats
                  B
I won't forget
