G
Heard every word that was said that night
F C F G
When the light of the world put the world to right
F
Here's to the boys back in 628
C F C G
Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate
Am
I will shine a blinding light
Bb
Through those hearts as black as night
C
Sticks and stones may break my bones
G F G
But at least the seeds of love will be sown
Fmaj7
Once in awhile when I feel no shame
G
I get down on my knees and I pray for rain
Fmaj7
The breeze blows gently while I state my case
G
There'll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face
Fmaj7
Hand on my heart I will make a stand
G
For the life and the times of the mirror man
F Fmaj7 G
In my head, there is a mirror
F Fmaj7 G
When I've been bad, I've been wrong
F Fmaj7 G
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb
Hope for a bad man
F G
This is the badman's song
Fmaj7
Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass
G
Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass
Fmaj7
Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man
G
Try and fit themselves together again
Fmaj7
Lies in disguise in the name of trust
G
Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust
Fmaj7
What's your problem ? What's your curse ?
G
Won't it make the matter worse ?

In my head, there is a mirror

When I've been bad, I've been wrong

Food for the saints that are quick to judge me

Hope for a bad man
F G
This is the bad man's song
Bb
They say faith can move move mountains
G
Fire can cleanse your soul
Bb
Faith can move mountains
G
But mind over matter won't you stop all your chatter
(Piano solo)
Fmaj7
Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong
G
When the stories are tall as the day is long
Fmaj7
With such a thin drawn between friend and foe
G
Lord help me now and bless my soul
Fmaj7
Look at yourself - See how you lie
G
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
Fmaj7
Look at yourself - See how you lie
G
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why
F Fmaj7 G
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me
Bb
Hope for a bad man
F G
This is the badman's song
