Standard (EADGBE)

 we use to fit together, she was so open

let me in deep, fed my hope

 and the years flew by, now we're older and broken

what did I do to make this bright light go dim

my my, how we've changed

 bitter is the fruit of the love we've made

good god, what did I say

 to make you repeat my sins this way

I never pray, you own me nothing

but if it's judgment day leave her and take me

she's the innocent and I'm the one you want

and if it's judgment day leave her and take me

you use to sleep on my chest, your body so warm

the top of your head still smelled like a newborn

and you were salvation, I thought you could atone for me

but I'm just the same, and you've sins of your own, I see

my my, how we've grown

crooked as the seed that a father sowed

I never pray, you own me nothing

but if it's judgment day leave her and take me

she's the innocent and I'm the one you want

and if it's judgment day leave her and take me

leave her and take me

good god, it's the family disease

we're bent as the branch on a cottonwood tree

I never pray, you own me nothing

but if it's judgment day leave her and take me

she's the innocent and I'm the one you want

and if it's judgment day leave her and take me

leave her and take me

leave her and take me
