C I love to sleep cause I pretend that I'm dead, E But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget, Am F G That I've lost all control of this life I've held so dear. C And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench, E I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement, Am F G And I hope the bus won't miss me when it comes my way. C Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny, E I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly, Am F I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me. C Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor, E I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more, Am F I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy. C I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself, E I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help, Am And I start to struggle to hold myself back, F From thrusting my head straight through the xxxxxxx glass. C And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care, E And breaking my back to try to make them aware, Am That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted, F G But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with. Interlude: C E Am F G C Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck, E And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as xxxx. Am So I sit on the floor and gather my thoughts, F And they're full of broken promises that only xxxx me off. C Well I lost control when I only a boy, E The world taught me angst when I deserved joy. Am Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breath, F G Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me. Interlude: C E Am F G C I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself, E I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help, Am And I start to struggle to hold myself back, F From thrusting my head straight through the xxxxxxx glass. C And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care, E And breaking my back to try to make them aware, Am That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted, F G G But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.

5 ukulele chords used in "Island Of The Misfit Boy" by Front Porch Step: Am, C, E, F and G















i like two add a quick “G G C” at the end (just three down) and let the C ring out because I like how it closes the song out 🙂
Strumming pattern?
‘well i made a few jokes’ and ‘now im lost in this hole’ chords should be Am F C G
Really?? They have IOTMB but not drown??
lovely!
I think it sounds better to end on C
FAB FAB FABULOUS
I love this song so much
