B5 C#5 Ab5 E5
[Verse]
Ab5 I'm like a cat in a cage, locked up and A#5battered and bruised
E5 I am the prodigal son, a shameful prodigy too
Ab5 I am the love of your life, battering A#5ram and confused
E5 I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you
Ab5 There is desire to fight, but I have A#5nothing to prove
E5 With the crowd and some lights, I start to feel things move
Ab5 Do you have something to hide? 'Cause I think A#5that we all do
E5 I am a child inside, back up and give me some room
[Chorus]
B5 I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
E5 I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
B5 You turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E5 We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
Ab5 So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5 Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
B5 So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5 Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home

B5 C#5 Ab5 E5
[Verse 2]
Ab5 Don't start to panic for me, 'cause I have A#5nothing to lose
E5 I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose
Ab5 Upon the side of a field I see a A#5city with lights
E5 I touch her face and I kneel, she tells me she's not alive
Ab5 I am too nervous to run, like kids who A#5scatter and hide
E5 To reach and grab for someone, but end up buried alive
Ab5 A world is waiting for me, a road that A#5I rarely use
E5 I start to feel my feet, they kick down walls as they move
[Chorus]
B5 I'm just a bastard child, don't let it go to your head
E5 I'm just a waste of your time, maybe I'm better off dead
B5 You turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde
E5 We'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside
Ab5 So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5 Just let me go, go
I'd rather go in alone
B5 So let me go, go
So let me go, go
E5 Just let me go, go
I'm never coming home

I'd rather go in alone
