Intro:

G  Am  Em    G

Verse 1:
           Am               Em
When I was young, my mother told me
                 C                     G
"Don't play with guns, that shit ain't holy
            Am         Em       G
There ain't outlaws in Heaven"
      Am                     Em
I got old and my father told me
           C                    G
"Go get a gun, protect the family
                  Am             Em           C
Ain't nothing but outlaws in the real world"
G               Am                            Em
So I got a gun, thought the Lord would hold me
                     C                       G
And I don't feel bad, hell, I don't feel holy
                    Am            Em  C
Guess I'll have to find out on my own

Interlude:
Em  C  G  D/F#
Em  C  G  D/F#


Chorus:
Em                C                        G
I don't know if I was made from God's hands
              D/F#                Em
But I know my father is a good man
              C                       G
I'm realizing now how the world bleeds
                    D/F#                     Em
So, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me
                      C                     G
I'm sick and tired of staring at the sunrise
                         D/F#                    Em
Just waiting for a truth I know just won't arrive
                         C                  G
So don't you go and tell me how it should be
                           D/F#
Hell, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me


Interlude:
Em  C  G  D/F#

"You don't go to God, you'll end up lonely
       Am              Em7                     C
We are nothing without faith" (Nothing without faith)
G                 Am7                  Em7
Said, "How 'bout dad? Hе must feel lonely"
             C                  G
And she got mad and firmly told me
            Am7      Em          C
"Don't you go asking quеstions"


Chorus:
Em7                    C                        G
 And I don't know if I was made from God's hands
              D/F#                Em
But I know my father is a good man
              C                       G
I'm realizing now how the world bleeds
                    D/F#                     Em
So, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me

Just waiting for a truth I know just won't arrive
                         C                  G
So don't you go and tell me how it should be
                           D/F#                Em7  C  G  G/B  Em7  C  G
Hell, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me

Hell, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me
