What a Good Boy Chords by Barenaked Ladies

[G] _ When I [D] was born, they looked at me [C] and said,
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
[G] _ When you [D] were born, they looked at you [C] and said,
What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.
[G] _ Got these [D] chains, hang around,
[C] I like people who wanna strangle us with them
Before we take our [G] first step.
_ Afraid of [D] change, afraid of staying the [C] same
When temptation comes, we just [G] look away. _
_ This name is [D] the hair shed I wear,
[G] And [C] this hair shed is [G] woven from your brown hair.
[D] _
[G] _ This song is [D] the cross that I bear,
[G] Bear [C] with me, bear with me, bear with me.
Bear with me [G] tonight, I [C] _ _ _ know that it [G] isn't right.
_ [C] _ _ _ Bear with me [G] tonight, _ go to [D] school.
I write [C] exams, if I pass, if I fail,
If I drop out, does anyone care [G] about that?
And if they [D] do, I'll soon [C] forget,
Cause it won't take much for me to show my life ain't over yet.
[G] _ _ Wake up [D] scared, I wake up [C] strange,
I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna [G] change.
I wake up [D] scared, I wake [E] [Em] up strange,
[C] And everything around me [G] stays the same.
It's [D] the hair shed I wear,
And [C] this hair shed is woven from,
It's woven from your [G] brown hair.
This song is [D] the cross that I bear,
Bear [C] with me, bear with me, bear with me.
Bear with me [G] tonight, _ [Em] _ [C] _ I know that it [G] isn't right.
_ [Em] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ Bear with me [G] tonight, I [D] couldn't tell you,
I [C] was wrong.
Drinking down from the pan and the [G] pan,
[C] Sat down and I wrote [G] this song.
_ I [D] couldn't tell you, you [C] were right.
So sad, I looked in the mirror,
I watched TV late at night, [G] all night.
We've got [D] these chains, hang [C] around.
Our next people want to strangle us with them,
Before we take our [G] first breath.
_ Afraid of [D] change, afraid of staying [C] the same,
When temptation calls.
The air [G] I breathe,
Cause this name is [D] the hair shed I [G] wear,
And [C] this hair shed is woven from,
It's woven from, it's woven [G] from hair.
This song is [D] the cross that I bear,
[G]
[C] Bear with me, bear with me, bear [Em] with me.
Bear with me [G] tonight.
_ When I was [D] born, they looked at me [G] and said,
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy.
_ When [D] you were born, they looked at you [Em] and said,
What a good [C] girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl.
