Island Of The Misfit Boy Uke tab by Front Porch Step

F
I love to sleep cause I pretend that I'm dead,
A
But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget,
Dm                                                 A#       C
That I've lost all control of this life I've held so dear.
     F
And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
        A
I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
     Dm                                          A#     C
And I hope the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
       F
Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny,
  A
I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly,
 Dm                                                 A#
I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
          F
Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
  A
I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more,
  Dm                                             A#
I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.


           F
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
  A
I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
    Dm
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
     A#
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
       F
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
    A
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
       Dm
That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
    A#                             C
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.

                     F A Dm A# C

        F
Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck,
      A
And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as fuck.
     Dm
So I sit on the floor and gather my thoughts,
            A#
And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off.
     F
Well I lost control when I only a boy,
    A
The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
    Dm
Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breath,
        A#                                     C
Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.

                    F A Dm A# C

           F
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,

But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
