Tom: C Verso 1 C I was born in the heart of Dublin F to the holy book of rules G C Made get on our knees every Sunday with the other fools C We were warped by the Christian Brothers F In the cell blocks at our schools G Get a handprint on your skin C Before you break their rules Am Em Go hit me now F G That I'm twice your size Am Em Brushed off the accusations Dm G And bowed before your lies Refrão C This is the city that raised me Am With the religion they gave me Dm G Now I'm old enough to know my own mind C But it was leaving that saved me Am I seen so much that has changed me F G Just break with your past Am Em Feed your own mind Dm G C This Irish son has moved with the times Verso 2 C Weddings deaths or baptizing children F That's my debt paid to the church G I don't need that kind of salvation When I get hurt Am Em Don't fill my head with sermons Dm G And force me to believe Refrão C This is the city that raised me Am With the religion they gave me Dm G Now I'm old enough to know my own mind C But it was leaving that saved me Am I seen so much that has changed me F G Just break with your past Am Em Feed your own mind Dm G C This Irish son has moved with the times D Our father who art in heaven D9 Em Come down here and make your presence known A We can't do it on our own D The lunatics let run the asylum D9 Em How can we find peace inside your home A When you can't trust your own Refrão D This is the city that raised me Bm With the religion they gave me Em A Now I'm old enough to know my own mind D But it was leaving that saved me Bm I've seen so much that has changed me G A Just break with your past Bm F#m Feed your own mind Em A Bm F#m Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times Em A D Cos' this Irish son has moved with the times
