[Intro]
(Riff 1) + (Riff 2)
(Riff 3)
The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies
(Riff 2)    +     (Riff 3)
A murderous desire for love

             G       Am    D
How can they look into my eyes
               Am7               C    D
And still they don't believe me?
       G            Am           D
How can they hear me say those words
                Am7         C    D
Still they don't believe me?
                  G        Am  D
And if they don't believe me now
           Am7            C   D
Will they ever believe me?
                  G        Am   D
And if they don't believe me now
                          Am7    C     D
Will they ever, they ever, believe me?
Oh ...

(Riff 1) + (Riff 2)
Oh......Oh..........

(Riff 3)
The boy with the thorn in his side
Behind the hatred there lies

(Riff 2)  +   (Riff 3)
A plundering desire for love

              G              Am    D
How can they see the Love in our eyes
                      Am7         C    D
And still they don't believe us?
                    G      Am     D
And after all this time
                    Am7        C   D
They don't want to believe us
                   G       Am  D
And if they don't believe us now
            Am7          C  D
Will they ever believe us?
                      G
And when you want to Live
                  Am  D
How do you start?

Where do you go?
Am7                      C  D
Who do you need to know?

[Outro]
(Riff 1) +  G   (000787)
