Confessions of a Poor Boy

Verse 1:
Spare a little love he said, holding out his hand (B)
I’ve been long and fumbled hard to live the life unplanned (B)
This city is my garden, with each fruit you lend to me (F)
Life will pay you back some day (F)

Verse 2:
I asked: How came you to stumble? Your parents must be broken (F)
He said: you know, my father raged, and left the rest unspoken (F)
I don’t care what the system claims, it leaves us all in the dark sometimes (F)
But it sure teaches us to pray (B)

Chorus: 
And I want to wash my hands in the river (B)
I need to wash my face in the river (B)
In the quiet beauty of early morn (F)
My soul is old but my heart is warm (F)
But who wants confessions of a poor boy? (B)

Verse 3:
It’s so damn hard on these cold streets with pavement as my bed (F)
The streetlights never dim and the noise gets in my head (B)
But there’s rhythm in the chaos in the footsteps walking by me day by day (F)
One by one, just like a drum (B)

Chorus (same as above)

Bridge:
There can be freedom in simplicity (B)
Even when there is no bread (B)
These people are my family (B)
By their wisdom I am fed (F)
So this is where I’ll lay my head (B)

Verse 4:
He turned to me, and to the ground he motioned with a smile (F)
It’s made of stone, and dust, and lines but i’d like to stay awhile (F)
All the good ones listen here and care about my time (F)
While the rest just pass me by (B)

Modified Chorus:
And every day I'll wash my hands in the river (F)
Yeah I need to wash my face in the river (F)
In the quiet beauty of early morn (F)
My soul is old, but I feel reborn (F)
In these confessions of a poor boy (B)
When you hear confessions of a poor boy (B)
Because I live confessions of a poor boy (B)
