How cruel is the golden rule

And I Knew That The Lights of the city were too heavy for me

And though I carried Karats for everyone to see
[Chorus]
Fm Gm Ab Eb
And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
Fm Gm Ab Eb
And all the lovers with no time for me
Fm Gm Ab Eb Eb/C
And all of the mothers raise their babies to
C#maj7
stay away from me
[Instrumental]

Where the sewage of youth drowned the spark of my teens

And I Knew That The Lights of the city were too heavy for me
C#maj7 Ab C F
And though I carried Karats for everyone to see

And all of the mothers raise their babies to
C#maj7
stay away from me
[Outro]
Eb/C C#maj7
And pray they don't grow up to be
