When [D] I was born, they looked at [C] me and said,
What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong [G] boy.
When [D] you 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 hanging around [C] our necks,
People want a strenuous rhythm before they take [G] our first breath.
Spread out of [D] change, a fantasy, and the [C] same when temptation comes.
We just live away.

And [C] this action is woven from, woven [A] from your [G] heart
And this song [D] is the cause that I live
