Am Em G D
[Verse 1]
Am EmIf you would've blinked then I would've
G DLooked away at the first glance
Am EmIf you tasted poison, you could've
G DSpit me out at the first chance
Am EmAnd if I was some paint, did it splatter
G DOn a promising grown man?
Am EmAnd if I was a child did it matter
G DIf you got to wash your hands?
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em G DOoh, ooh, ooh, all I used to Do was pray
Am GWould've, could've, should've
DIf you'd never looked my way
[Chorus]
G DI would've stayed on my knees
Am CAnd I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G DAt nineteen
Am CAnd the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G D AmAnd now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
CMemories feel like weapons
G D Am CAnd now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
[Verse 2]
Am EmIf you never touched me, I would've
G DGone along with the righteous
Am EmIf I never blushed, then they could've
G DNever whispered about this
Am EmAnd if you never saved me from boredom
G DI could've gone on as I was
Am EmBut, Lord, you made me feel important
G DAnd then you tried to erase us
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em G DOoh, ooh, ooh, you're a crisis of my faith
Am GWould've, could've, should've
DIf I'd only played it safe
[Chorus]
G DI would've stayed on my knees
Am CAnd I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G DAt nineteen
Am CAnd the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G D AmAnd now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
CMemories feel like weapons
G D Am CAnd now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
[Bridge]
GGod rest my soul
DI miss who I used to be
AmThe tomb won't close
C GStained glass windows in my mind
D Am CI regret you all the time
GI can't let this go
DI fight with you in my sleep
AmThe wound won't close
C GI keep on waiting for a sign
D Am CI regret you all the time
[Verse 3]
Em D CIf clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Em D CYears of tearing down our banners, you and I
G D Am CLiving for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
G D Am C G DGive me back my girlhood, it was mine first
[Chorus]
Am CAnd I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
G DAt nineteen
Am CAnd the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G D AmAnd now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
CMemories feel like weapons
G D Am CAnd now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
[Outro]
GGod rest my soul
DI miss who I used to be
AmThe tomb won't close
C GStained glass windows in my mind
D Am CI regret you all the time
GI can't let this go
DI fight with you in my sleep
AmThe wound won't close
C GI keep on waiting for a sign
D Am CI regret you all the time
GOh, God, rest my soul
DI miss who I used to be
AmThe tomb won't close
C GStained glass windows in my mind
D Am CI regret you all the time
GI can't let this go
DI fight with you in my sleep
AmThe wound won't close
C GI keep on waiting for a sign
D Am CI regret you all the time
