🎸 Verse 1:
E minorEm                   G+G
We were running through the red lights
            E minorEm
In a hurry to get to nowhere
          G+G
In a white Beretta
E minorEm                 G+G
We'll go to Memphis in the morning
               E minorEm
To get it over with and in a couple days
             G+G
You'll feel a lot better

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
E minorEm             G+G
I was raised in the church
                 E minorEm
I was washed in the blood and we all were saved
          G+G
Before we even left home
    E minorEm
If his love is unconditional
G+G
Why do I feel so miserable?
E minorEm                    G+G
Why are you digging your nails in the Styrofoam?

It was so many years ago

I was sitting at a red light
G+G
Listеning to Son Volt
E minorEm               G+G
May the wind take your troubles away
      E minorEm
Could have been somebody's father
     G+G
Couldn't boil a pot of water
   E minorEm               G+G
I was nineteen years old in nineteen ninety eight

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
E minorEm         G+G
Raised in the church
              E minorEm
Washed in the blood and we all were saved
          G+G
Before we even left home
    E minorEm
I thank God you weren't brought up like me
   G+G
With all that shame and certainty
    E minorEm                G+G
And I'm sorry you had to go in that room alone
