D Em
If you wouldʼve blinked then I wouldʼve
G D
Looked away at the first glance
D Em
If you tasted poison, you couldʼve
G D
Spit me out at the first chance
D Em
And if I was some paint, did it splatter
G D
On a promising grown man?
D Em
And if I was a child did it matter
G D
If you got to wash your hands?
Pre-Chorus:D Em G D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all I used to do was pray
D Em
Wouldʼve, couldʼve, shouldʼve
G D
If youʼd never looked my way
Chorus: G D
I wouldʼve stayed on my knees
C
And I damn sure never wouldʼve danced with the devil
G D
At nineteen
C
And the Godʼs honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G D C
And now that Iʼm grown, Iʼm scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
G D C
And now that I know, I wish youʼd left me wondering
D Em
If you never touched me, I wouldʼve
G D
Gone along with the righteous
D Em
If I never blushed, then they couldʼve
G D
Never whispered about this
D Em
And if you never saved me from boredom
G D
I couldʼve gone on as I was
D Em
But, Lord, you made me feel important
G D
And then you tried to erase us
Pre-Chorus:D Em G D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, youʼre a crisis of my faith
D Em
Wouldʼve, couldʼve, shouldʼve
G D
If Iʼd only played it safe
Chorus: G D
I wouldʼve stayed on my knees
C
And I damn sure never wouldʼve danced with the devil
G D
At nineteen
C
And the Godʼs honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G D C
And now that Iʼm grown, Iʼm scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
G D C
And now that I know, I wish youʼd left me wondering
Bridge: G
God rest my soul
D
I miss who I used to be
C
The tomb wonʼt close
G
Stained glass windows in my mind
D C
I regret you all the time
G
I canʼt let this go
D
I fight with you in my sleep
C
The wound wonʼt close
G
I keep on waiting for a sign
D C
I regret you all the time
Em D C
If clarityʼs in death, then why wonʼt this die?
Em D C
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
G D C
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
G D C G D
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
Chorus: C
And I damn sure never wouldʼve danced with the devil
G D
At nineteen
C
And the Godʼs honest truth is that the pain was heaven
G D C
And now that Iʼm grown, Iʼm scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
G D C
And now that I know, I wish youʼd left me wondering
Outro: G
