Verse 1:
G Am    D                         Am7
    The boy with the thorn in his side
           C           D     
Behind the hatred there      lies
  G           Am  D   Am7    C D     
a murderous desire for   love
             G        Am       D
How can they look into  my eyes
                       Am7
And still they don't believe me?
C D                  G          Am           D
        How can they hear me say  those words
                   Am7
Still they don't believe me?
C    D                  G       Am   D
 And if    they don't believe me  now
            Am7           C
Will they ever believe me?
    D                  G       Am
And if    they don't believe me  now
D                          Am7
 Will they ever, they ever,   believe me?
C  D     
 Oh

Verse 2:
G Am    D                         Am7
    The boy with the thorn in his side
           C           D     
Behind the hatred there      lies
  G            Am  D   Am7    C D     
a plundering desire for   love
             G           Am      D
How can they see the Love  in our eyes
                       Am7
And still they don't believe us?
C          D              G Am
 And after all   this time
D                  Am7
 They don't want to   believe us
C    D                  G       Am   D
 And if    they don't believe us  now

Verse 3:
              Am7           C
Will they ever   believe us?
    D                 G       Am
And when  you want to live How
do you start?
D
 Where do you go?
      Am7
Who do   you need to know?
C  D     
 Oh
