πΈ Intro:
Am G G D/F# ( x2 )
πΈ Verse 1:
Am Em G D Am
If you would've blinked then I would've looked away at the first glance
Em G D Am
If you tasted poison you could've spit me out at the first chance
Em G D Am
And if I was some paint, did it splatter on a promising grown man?
Em G D
And if I was a child did it matter if you got to wash your hands?
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
Am Em G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
D
All I used to do was pray
Am Em
Would've, could've, should've
G D
If you'd never looked my way
G D
I would've stayed on my knees
πΈ Chorus:
C G
And I **** sure would've never danced with the devil
D C
At 19, and the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G/B D C
And now that I'm grown
I'm scared of ghosts
G
Memories feel like weapons
D C
And now that I know
I wish you left me wondering
πΈ Verse 2:
D Em G D
If you never touched me
I would've gone along with the righteous
Em G D
If I never blushed, then they could've never whispered about this
Em G D
And if you never saved me from boredom
I could've gone on as I was
Em G D
But lord you made me feel important, and then you tried to erase us
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
Em D C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're a crisis of my faith
Em D
Would've, could've, should've
C
If I'd only played it safe
G D
I would've stayed on my knees
πΈ Chorus:
C G
And I **** sure would've never danced with the devil
D C
At 19, and the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G/B D C
And now that I'm grown
I'm scared of ghosts
G
Memories feel like weapons
D C
And now that I know
I wish you left me wondering

The tomb won't close
G
Stained glass windows in my mind

I can't let this go
I fight with you in my sleep

The wound won't close
G D
I keep on waiting for a sign
C
I regret you all the time
πΈ Verse 3:
Em D C
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?

Years of tearing down our banners, you and I

Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts

Give me me back my girlhood, it was mine first
