you were born bluer than a butterfly
beautiful and so deprived
C
of oxygen..
Fm
colder than your father's eyes
he never learned to sympathize
C
with anyone..
Fm
i don't blame you..
C
but i can't change you..
Fm
don't hate you..
C
but we can't save you..
Fm
you were born reaching for your mother's hands
victim of your father's plans
C
to rule the world..
Fm
too afraid to step outside
paranoid and petrified
C
of what you've heard..
Fm
but they could say the same 'bout me
i sleep 'bout three
hours each night means
C
only twenty one a week now, (now..)
Fm
and i could say the same 'bout you
born blameless grew
up famous too
C
just a baby born blue now.. (now..)
Fm
i don't blame you..

but i can't change you..

don't hate you..
C
but we can't save you..
