I'll wave the white flag if tomorrow you'll take me
          Gm                C#m
Out where the bluebirds sing
        F                 Bm
Tell me I'm all you wanted
       Gm                  C#m
But it gets hard to breathe
            F                 B#m
When I feel you looking my way
        Gm              C#m
I don't know how to land
     F                    Bm
If I Go to Heaven with you
            Gm             C#m
You'll have to hold my hand

      C#m         F    Bm  Gm
And I take it all back, mm-mm

And I take it all back, ooh-ooh

F                                                 Bm
As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue
                            C#m7                    F
I braid my hair before bed, kind of believe in Jesus

                C#m        F               Bm
I held my knees close in a sweaty surrender
           Gm
Watching a morning dove
C#m       F
Felt like two birds of a feather
Bm           Gm         C#m7
Fighting the urge to run
        F
He said he was gonna protect me
Bm            Gm
Thought I was safe and sound
C#m        F                      Bm
Red cheeks in the face of a sinner
         Gm
Blood on the hunting ground

And I take it all back, ooh-ooh

                            C#m7                    F
I braid my hair before bed, kind of believe in Jesus
