(VER)
Am
If you would’ve
Em
blinked, then I would’ve
G
Looked
D
away at the first glance
Am
If you tasted
Em
poison, you could’ve
G
Spit me
D
out at the first chance
Am
And if I was som
Em
e paint, did it splatter
G
On a
D
promising grown man?
Am
And if I was a
Em
child, did it matter
G
If you
D
got to wash your hands?
(PRE CHO)
Am
Ooh,
Em
oh,
G
oh,
D
all I used to do was pray
Am
Would’ve, could’ve,
G
should’ve
D
If you’d never looked my way
(CHO)
I would’ve stayed
G
on my
D
knees
And I
Am
damn sure never would’ve
C
danced with the devil
G
At
nine
D
teen
And the
Am
God’s honest truth is that the
C
pain was heaven
G
And now that I’m
D
grown, I’m scared of
Am
ghosts
Memories
C
feel like weapons
G
And now that I
D
know
I wish you’d
Am
left me
C
wondering
(VER)
Am
If you never
Em
touched me, I would’ve
G
Gone
a
D
long with the righteous
Am
If I never
Em
blushed, then they could’ve
G
Never
D
whispered about this
Am
And if you
Em
never saved me from boredom
G
I could’ve
D
gone on as I was
Am
But, Lord, you made me
Em
feel
important
G
And then you
D
tried to erase us
(PRE CHO)
Am
Ooh,
Em
oh,
G
oh,
D
you’re a crisis of my faith
Am
Would’ve, could’ve,
G
should’ve
D
If I’d only played it safe
(CHO)
I would’ve stayed
G
on my
D
knees
