(Riff 1) + (Riff 2)

The boy with the thorn in his side

Behind the hatred there lies

A murderous desire for love

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/smiths/the_boy_with_the_thorn_tab_ver_2.html ]
             G       Am    D
How can they look into my eyes
               Am7               C    D
And still they don't believe me ?
       G            Am           D
How can they hear me say those words
                Am7         C    D
Still they don't believe me ?
                  G        Am  D
And if they don't believe me now
           Am7            C   D
Will they ever believe me ?
                  G        Am   D
And if they don't believe me now
                          Am7    C     D
Will they ever, they ever, believe me ?
Oh ...
(Riff 1) + (Riff 2)
Oh......Oh..........

(Riff 3)
The boy with the thorn in his side

Behind the hatred there lies

(Riff 2)  +   (Riff 3)
A plundering desire for love
              G              Am    D
How can they see the Love in our eyes
                      Am7         C    D
And still they don't believe us ?
                    G      Am     D
And after all this time
                    Am7        C   D
They don't want to believe us
                   G       Am  D
And if they don't believe us now
            Am7          C  D
Will they ever believe us ?
                      G
And when you want to Live
                  Am  D
How do you start ?

Where do you go ?
Am7                      C  D
Who do you need to know ?
