🎸 Intro:

G     Em  C




🎸 Verse :
           G
Maybe you grew up a little like I did
           Em
Maybe you knew someone like me as a kid
           Am

Believing you can pray it away, 'cause hey

And I know that they mean well

They’re just trying to save ya from hell

They told me Jesus would save me from my sin
                Em
But they still paint pictures of Him with white skin
               Am
They made some bad outta that Good Book

And I hate that it took

So long to get over what it did to me
