G 
Heard every word that was said that night 
         F                          C     F  G 
When the light of the world put the world to right 
F 
Here's to the boys back in 628 
         C                     F     C  G 
Where an ear to the wall was a twist of fate 
Am 
I will shine a blinding light 
Bb 
Through those hearts as black as night 
C 
Sticks and stones may break my bones 
       G                  F            G 
But at least the seeds of love will be sown 
Fmaj7 
Once in awhile when I feel no shame 
      G 
I get down on my knees and I pray for rain 
    Fmaj7 
The breeze blows gently while I state my case 
            G 
There'll be certain men waiting just to scratch my face 
Fmaj7 
Hand on my heart I will make a stand 
        G                         
For the life and the times of the mirror man 
F     Fmaj7 G 
In my head, there is a mirror 
F              Fmaj7 G 
When I've been bad,  I've been wrong 
F            Fmaj7           G 
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me 
Bb 
Hope for a bad man 
F                    G 
This is the badman's song 
Fmaj7 
Guilt in the frame of the looking-glass 
       G 
Puts a shine on the mind where reflections pass 
          Fmaj7 
Where the jigsaw pieces of a broken man 
G 
Try and fit themselves together again 
Fmaj7 
Lies in disguise in the name of trust 
         G 
Put your head in the sand it will turn to dust  
Fmaj7 
What's your problem ? What's your curse ? 
G 
Won't it make the matter worse ? 

F     Fmaj7 G 
In my head, there is a mirror 
F             Fmaj7 G 
When I've been bad, I've been wrong 
F            Fmaj7           G 
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me 
Bb 
Hope for a bad man 
F                     G 
This is the bad man's song 

         Bb                              
They say faith can move move mountains 
G 
Fire can cleanse your soul  
Bb 
Faith can move mountains 
G 
But mind over matter won't you stop all your chatter  

(Piano solo) 

Fmaj7 
Sweet talking boys who can do no wrong 
         G 
When the stories are tall as the day is long 
            Fmaj7 
With such a thin drawn between friend and foe 
G 
Lord help me now and bless my soul  
Fmaj7                   
Look at yourself - See how you lie 
     G 
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why 
Fmaj7 
Look at yourself - See how you lie  
     G 
Your hands start shaking and you don't know why 

F            Fmaj7           G 
Food for the saints that are quick to judge me 
Bb 
Hope for a bad man 
F                    G 
This is the badman's song
