Em 
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child 
Em 
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child 
Em 
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child 
So far from home 

verse 1 - Moby 
Em 
This was life and this was safer 
Em 
All was strange and always stranger 
Em 
I laid but so much 
Em 
I'm never safe from all this danger 
Em 
The demon's eyes and demon satyr 
Em 
I was bait but what would bait her? 
Em 
Don't know my needs, don't know my ways 
Em 
I hide my face, no way to face her 
Em 
This was loss, this was name 
Em 
This was my truth, this was no game 
Em 
This was not hope, this was not sane 
Em 
And from these broken places made 
Em 
That was loss and this was later 
Em 
I wanted less but nothing greater 
Em 
I couldn't leave, I couldn't stay 
Em 
Like a motherless child

verse 2 - Moby 
Em 
This was loss and this was later

Always hate but never hate her 
C                  Bm 
I laid in wait but so much later 
Em 
And never safe from all this danger 
Em 
The demon's eyes, the demon satyr 
Em 
I was bait, but what would bait her

Don't know my needs, don't know my ways
