Despite What You’ve Been Told (Two Gallants)
Intro: C F C F C G F C G
1.
[C]well I guess by the blood stain of your lips
and the w[F]ander of your fingertips
I should pr[C]ove true to my ruthlessness and s[F]tay h[C]ere
[C]but I’m just a kid of ill repute
and the s[G]kin I wear’s my only suit
and [F]you you’re just a substitute for[C] the one that I [G]hold dear
[F]you know you c[G]ould be any[C]one
god fo[G]rgive my tasteless t[F]ongue
I never s[G]hould have been set fr[C]ee
[F]I claw my e[G]yes I skin my fa[C]ce
beg someh[G]ow to be replac[F]ed
that’s ho[G]w we deal with boys[C] like me
2.
[C]well I guess for this world so sick with loss
and t[F]hose who dream despite the cost
I should c[C]limb down off my rugged cross and l[F]ay with [C]you
[C]but you know by now it's half past late
and I o[G]nly came here for escape
[F]you you’re just my next mistake
[C]like me to y[G]ou
[F]you know you c[G]ould be anyo[C]ne
god forg[G]ive your unborn s[F]ons
I hope they d[G]on’t end up[C] like me
[F]I drag my [G]mind through streets of s[C]hame
hate myse[G]lf forgive the g[F]ame
that’s ho[G]w we deal with boys[C] li[G]ke me
Refrain:
[G]but despite what you’ve [C]been [G]told
I once had a s[F]oul
left somewhere beh[C]ind
[G]a former friend of mi[F]ne
and I hate to speak so f[Am]ree
but you mean nothing to [G]me
so if the street lights they shine b[F]right
I&[G]#8217;ll get ho[C]me tonight
3.
[C]I guess by the dim light in your eyes
and that to y[F]ou all things come as a surprise
I should [C]set the steel trap of your thighs and d[F]ive right [C]in
[C]but to you I’m just a confused child
[G]insecure or in denial
[F]go raise your robes and hold your trial I[C]’ll le[G]t you win
[F]you know I c[G]ould be anyo[C]ne
god for[G]give what I should̵[F]7;ve done
my thoughts e[G]nough to guilty [C]be
[F]yes I g[G]uess I made this b[C]ed
but IR[G]17;ll take the sidew[F]alk instead
that’s ho[G]w we deal with boys[C] like me
Refrain:
but d[G]espite what you’ve [C]been [G]told
I once had a s[F]oul
left somewhere beh[C]ind
[G]a former friend of mi[F]ne
and I h[G]ate to sound so t[Am]rue
but I mean nothing to y[G]ou
so if the street lights they shine b[F]right
I&[G]#8217;ll get ho[C]me to[G]ni[F]gh[C]t[G] [F]
