Heard every word that was said that night
When the [F]light of the world put the [C]world [F]to [G]right
[F]Here's to the boys back in 628
Where an [C]ear to the wall was a [F]twist [C]of [G]fate
[Am]I will shine a blinding light
[Bb]Through those hearts as black as night
[C]Sticks and stones may break my bones
But at [G]least the seeds of [F]love will be [G]sown
[Fmaj7]Once in awhile when I feel no shame
I get [G]down on my knees and I pray for rain
The [Fmaj7]breeze blows gently while I state my case
There'll be [G]certain men waiting just to scratch my face
[Fmaj7]Hand on my heart I will make a stand
For the [G]life and the times of the mirror man
[F]In my [Fmaj7]head, [G]there is a mirror
[F]When I've been [Fmaj7]bad, [G]I've been wrong
[F]Food for the [Fmaj7]saints that are [G]quick to judge me
[Bb]Hope for a bad man
[F]This is the badman's [G]song
[Fmaj7]Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
Puts a [G]shine on the mind where reflections pass
Where the [Fmaj7]jigsaw pieces of a broken man
[G]Try and fit themselves together again
[Fmaj7]Lies in disguise in the name of trust
Put your [G]head in the sand it will turn to dust
[Fmaj7]What's your problem ? What's your curse ?
[G]Won't it make the matter worse ?
[F]In my [Fmaj7]head, [G]there is a mirror
[F]When I've been[Fmaj7] bad, [G]I've been wrong
[F]Food for the [Fmaj7]saints that are [G]quick to judge me
[Bb]Hope for a bad man
[F]This is the bad man's [G]song
They say [Bb]faith can move move mountains
[G]Fire can cleanse your soul
[Bb]Faith can move mountains
[G]But mind over matter won't you stop all your chatter
(Piano solo)
[Fmaj7]Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
When the [G]stories are tall as the day is long
With such a [Fmaj7]thin drawn between friend and foe
[G]Lord help me now and bless my soul
[Fmaj7]Look at yourself - See how you lie
Your [G]hands start shaking and you don't know why
[Fmaj7]Look at yourself - See how you lie
Your [G]hands start shaking and you don't know why
