GThe things I don't want to doEm, I jCust keep dGoing
GThe things I want to dEmo, CI can't Gdo
GWhat a wretched maEmn I Cam becGoming
GWhat a wretched maEmn I hCave bGecome
EmWho wCill save Gme
From this body of death that is looming
From this funeral parlor I keep on seeing
In the corner of my eye while pointing my gun
In the corner of my mind while ignoring the sun
EmIt's cComing for Gme, Emit's cComing for mGe
EmBut what you aBsk just cCannot be dGone
EmA spineless heBart is wChat I've beGcome
This Emweight on my bBack is jCust too hGeavy
EmA holy life just wCasn't for Gme
Keep smearing my heart, all over my sleeve
Someone comes and wipes it off and takes it from me
What's left is hardly mine but just a shadow of myself
For I find that I'm entwined, in a battle over my health
And I can't win, and I can't win
But what you ask just cannot be done
A spineless heart is what I've become
This weight on my back was just too heavy
A holy life just wasn't for me, a holy life just wasn't for me
(harmonica break)
But what you ask just cannot be done
A spineless heart is what I've become
The sweat on my back was just too heavy
You say a holy life still waits for me
You say a holy life still waits for me
That's the song.  Listen to figure it all out, but it's not hard.
