Intro: A D F#m D Verse 1: (Strum chords once) A D F#m D You’d think that I would learn to hold my tongue once and for all. A D F#m D But I’m growing old and still running off my mouth like I can’t get enough. E F#m D But save your mercy for the lost. E A D I don’t have time for these regrets. E F#m D And don’t you dare remind me of the cost E A D ‘cause how the hell could I forget?
F#m D F#m D (Picking) Verse 2: (Picking) F#m D F#m D And I’ve gotten good at pulling people in and pushing everyone away. F#m D F#m D I’ve shouted words and said hateful things that no one decent should say. E F#m D But save forgiveness for the weak. E A D I’ve made it this far on my own. E F#m D And I’m not the man of your dreams E A D but more like the sinner that you stone. F#m E D E (Picking) Chorus: (Strumming) A E D God only knows the darker side of me. E A The pieces of my heart I don’t want you to see. E D And heaven forbid you find out who I am E A ‘cause if you knew the truth I’m terrified you’ll leave. E D I’ve got to change or I’ll die alone. E A And I don’t deserve all the grace that you’ve displayed. E D I’ll nail you to the cross again ‘cause once was not enough. E A My sinful heart feels way too gone now to ever be saved. Instrumental: (Strumming) D E Dbm F#m x4 Verse 3: (Strum chords once) E F#m D So keep me close to where you are E F#m D ‘cause God knows I’m prone to stray. E F#m D And write my name upon your heart E F#m D
