G+G
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead
C majorC
Tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
G+G
If we get the van out of the ditch before morning
C majorC
Ain't nobody got to know what I done
G+G
And I never hear a single word you say
C majorC
When you tell me not to have my fun
G+G
It's the same old shit that
C majorC
I ain't gonna take off anyone.
D MajorD C majorC
And I don't need to be forgiven
D MajorD C majorC
By them people in the neighborhood
D MajorD
When we first hooked up, you looked me in the eye
C majorC
And said "Paw, we just ain't no good".
G+G
We were Heathens in their eyes at the time,
C majorC
I guess I am just a Heathen still
D MajorD
And I never have repented from the wrongs
C majorC
That they say I have done, I done what I feel.
G+G C majorC
G+G C majorC
G+G
It was a difficult delivery,
C majorC
Now it's growing up mean and strong
G+G
When you tell me that it's getting a little bit tight,
C majorC
Ain't the first time I been outgrown
G+G
And I'm gonna push a little harder
C majorC
She ain't revved till the rods are thrown
G+G C majorC
I'll walk away
D MajorD C majorC
And I don't need to be forsaken
D MajorD C majorC
By you or anybody else
D MajorD
And I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me
C majorC
About the dangers I pose to myself.
Heathens.
G+G C majorC
G+G C majorC
D MajorD C majorC
These times can take their toll sometimes
D MajorD C majorC
And I know you feel the same way, too
G+G
It gets so hard to keep between the ditches
C majorC
When the roads wind the way they do.
