                       F#m  C#/F  
He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack
                         F#m  C#/F  
His backpack is all that he knows
                          F#m  C#/F  
Shot down by strangers Whose glances can cripple
                      F#m  C#/F  
The heart and devour the soul
[Chorus]
F#mAll alone he Dturns to stone

Must have been out of his mind
