why did you give me so much desire? when there is nowhere I can go
   E                                   Am
to offload this desire? and why did you give me so much love

in a loveless world? when there's no one I can turn to
   E                                    Am
to unlock all this love and why did you stick me in
                 E                 F         E
self-deprecating bones and skin Jesus-do you hate me?
