[Verse 1]
N.C.

It's always wi

             
th a sense of 

     
shame
              
I've always be

            
en the one to 

    
blame
           
For everything

            
 I long to do
             
No matter when

[Verse 2]
            
At school they

            
 taught me how

    
 to be
              
So pure in tho

[Bridge]
            
Father, forgiv

not to do it
            
Turned over a

And I still do

             
n't understand

[Verse 3]
          
So I look back

         
 upon my life
              
Forever with a

             
 sense of sham

 
e
            
I've always be
