Verse 
                        Am 
  What did I ever do to you 
                                 Em  Esus4 Em 
  That you should treat me this way? 
                        Am 
  Is it really such a crime 
                             Em 
  For an angel to speak his mind? 
                 Esus4  Em       Am 
  Anytime I'll try to shed some light 
                   Em 
  If I were a big boy 
     Esus4     Em 
  I wouldn't cry 
Am                          Em 
  But since I'm not a big boy 
                 B7 
  I'll have to cry 

Verse 
                          Am 
  What did I ever do so wrong 
                                 Em  Esus4 Em 
  That you should cast me from grace 
                            Am 
  Though I love to rule in Hell here 
                           Em 
  How I miss the taste of Heaven 
       Esus4   Em       Am 
  Its soft and cool embrace 
                   Em 
  If I were a big boy 
    Esus4  Em  Am 
  I wouldn't cry 
                           Em 
  But since I'm not a big boy 
                 B7 
  I'll have to close my eyes 
       B7                G 
  And picture what it's like 


                 Ebdim 
  I'm just like you 
               Em 
  I'm made by He 
                D 
  Despised by they 
              G 
  I'm almost me 
       B7 
  I'm nearly human 
   Em 
  Look at me 
      D         D7    G 
  I'm almost a human being 
                 Ebdim 
  I'm just like you 
               Em 
  I'm made by He 
                D 
  Despised by they 
              G 
  I'm almost me 
       B7 
  I'm nearly human 
   Em 
  Pity me 
      D         D7    G 
  I'm almost a human being

Bridge 
  Am                Em        Esus4 Em 
  I still remember your light 
                Am 
  And it was streaming down 
       Em          Esus4 Em 
  And burning out my eyes 
Am                   Em 
  If I were a big boy

  I'm almost a human being 
                   Ebdim 
  These tears are real 
             Em 
  I'm jealousy 
                 D 
  I'm spite and hate 
                   G 
  To the core I'm mean 
       B7 
  I'm nearly human 
   Em 
  Look at me 
      D         D7    G 
  I'm almost a human being 

                 Ebdim 
  I'm just like you 
               Em 
  Better than He

  To Hell with they 
              G
