                        Dm                     E         ~

    I've always been the one to blame.

Am               Dm                 G                       C                        F

 every place I've ever been, everywhere I'm going to,  it's a sin

 

                            Dm                       G

2. At school they taught me how to be,

                        C                                 F             Dm                    E     ~

    so pure in thought and word and deed, they didn't quite succeed.

Am                Dm                G                       C                         F

    For every thing I long to do, no matter when or where or who

                   Dm                       E

    has one thing in common, too.

Am                             - Cm

    Father forgive me,          I tried not to do it,

Em                                    - Am                           Em

    turned over a new leaf,          then tore right through it.

Am                                       - Cm

    Whatever you taught me,         I didn't believe it,

Em                                                F

    father you fought me, 'cause I didn't care,

               G                      E

    and I still don't understand
