[Cm]..[G]
you were born [Cm]bluer than a butterfly
beautiful and so deprived
of [G]oxygen..
[Cm]colder than your father’s eyes
he never learned to sympathize
with [G]anyone..
i don’t [Cm]blame you..
but i can’t [G]change you..
don’t [Cm]hate you..
but we can’t [G]save you..
you were born [Cm]reaching for your mother’s hands
victim of your father’s plans
to [G]rule the world..
[Cm]too afraid to step outside
paranoid and petrified
of [G]what you’ve heard..
but they could say the [Cm]same ‘bout me
i sleep ‘bout three
hours each night means
only twenty one a week now[G], (now..)
and i could say the [Cm]same ‘bout you
born blameless grew
up famous too
just a baby born blue [G]now.. (now..)
i don’t [Cm]blame you..
but i can’t [G]change you..
don’t [Cm]hate you..
but we can’t [G]save you..
Outro : Cm..G..(5x)
