[B]
[F#]
[C#] [F#m] [B] Silhouettes above the cradle hold [C#] me [F#m] down
[B] They won't let me go the wrong way
[F#m] My [B] mother taught me [F#] all the fables, told [C#] me [F#m] how
[B] In the end all the sinners have to [D] pay
But I [E] don't wanna live like [F#] my mother
[C#m] I [D] don't wanna let [E] fear
[F#] rule my [C#] life
[D] And I [E] don't wanna live like [F#] my father
[C#m] I [D] don't wanna [E] give up [F#] before [C#] I die
[F#m] [B] He
[F#]
[F#m] [E] works so hard his [F#] bones are breaking
He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
His [F#m] [E] gun attention [F#] seemed shaking
Show me [F#m] how
[E] I don't [F#] ever wanna end up like he [A] did
And I [E] don't wanna live like [F#m] my mother
[C#m] I [D] don't wanna let [E] fear
[F#] rule my [C#] life
[A] [E] And I don't wanna live like [F#] my father
[C#m] I don't [D] wanna give [E] up [F#] before I [C#] die
[D] [A#] [A]
[E]
[F#] When I [A] have kids
[E] I won't [F#] put any [D] chains [A] on their [E] [B] wrists
I [F#] won't [G#]
[F#] tell [A] them this
[E] There's nothing [B] in this [A] world that you can't [E] be if you [F#] want it [G#] enough
[D] And I don't [E] wanna live like my [F#] mother
[G#] I don't [A] wanna let
[E] fear [F#] rule my [G#] life
[D] And I don't [E] wanna live [F#] like my father
