[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
Shane, I'm waiting
                           Em7  A7
For you inside the bathroom stall
  Dmaj7
Anticipating
                               C#m7b5 F#7
Your footsteps coming down the hall
 
[Chorus]
Em7 A7   D
As  I stay still
Em7       A7       D
Something makes me ill
   Em7       A7     D
My eyes grow wide until
     Gm/Bb     Bm F# Bm  A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5
They fill with tears
 
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
Visions haunt me
                            Em7 A7
Just as they did when I was young
Dmaj7
My poor father
                      C#m7b5 F#7
Was given Robert as a son
 
[Chorus]
Em7    A7   D
Robert being me
Em7        A7  D
Shamed the family
Em7     A7         D
Slow as slow could be
          Gm/Bb        Bm F# Bm  A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5 A7 A7#5
While his father had a PhD
 
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7
Please have mercy
                       Em7 A7
I'm doing everything I can
Dmaj7
Robert Senior politely
                 C#m7b5 F#7
Asked his son to stand
 
[Bridge]
A                       D
  Do you wanna know why
                  A
Your mother died?
Em7
When you were born
    A7               D                B7
She couldn't bear to raise a boy like you
    Em7
She just couldn't hack it
    A7
Her body attacked itself
D                     B7
By the time the birth was through
         Em7
She was gone!
A7
Gone!

[Verse 4]
Dmaj7
Shane, I waited
                               Em7 A7
To smash your head against the wall
Dmaj7
My self-hatred
                             C#m7b5 F#7
Makes me feel like no one at all
 
[Chorus]
Em7  A7       D
I'll close my eyes
Em7    A7     D
Listen to your cries
    Em7    A7      D
And try to feel my size
       Gm/Bb               Bm  F# Bm A
But my father's voice will not subside
