C D Gx2
If you Gtake my heart
Don't Cleave the smallest part
I've no Dneed to live if Cyou're to come up Ggone
An as my Glife turns to a song
And if and Cwhen I treat you wrong
No I Dnever want to Churt our Gfamily
And I would Ggive up everything
No this is Cnot just about me
And I don't Dknow a plainer Cway to say it GBabe
And they may Gpay us off in fame
Though that is Cnot why we came
And I Dknow well and gCood that won't heal our Ghearts
We came for Csalvation
We came for fGamily
We came for Dall that's good that's Chow we'll walk Gaway
We came to Cbreak the bad
We came to Gcheer the sad
We came to Dleave behind the Cworld a better Gway
Now if I'm Gwalkin' through the rain
And I Chear you call my name
I will Dbreak into a Crun without a Gpause
And if your lGove laughs at your dreams
Well it's not as Cbad as it seems
Either Dway one of Cthem has got to Ggo
And if you Gtake of my soul
You can Cstill leave it whole
With the pDieces of you Cown you leave Gbehind
We came for Csalvation
We came for Gfamily
We came for Dall that's Cgood that's how we'll walk Gaway
We came to Cbreak the bad
We came to Gcheer the sad
We came to Dleave behind the Cworld a better Gway
And I would Ggive up everything
And if you were Cto come up clean
And see you Dshine so bright Cin a world of Gwoe
And they may Gpay us off in fame
But that is Cnot why we came
And if it Dcompromises tCruth then we will Ggo
We came for Csalvation
We came for Gfamily
We came for Dall that's Cgood that's how we'll walk Gaway
We came to Cbreak the bad
We came to Gcheer the sad
We came to Dleave behind the Cworld a better Gway

I think I dreamed you, again last night

We are in love
We are in ...

If you take my heart

Don't leave the smallest part

I've no need to live if you're to come up gone
G
An as my life turns to a song
C
And if and when I treat you wrong
D C G
No I never want to hurt our family
G
And I would give up everything
C
No this is not just about me
D C G
And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe
G
And they may pay us off in fame
C
Though that is not why we came
D C G
And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts
C
We came for salvation
G
We came for family
D C G
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away
C
We came to break the bad
G
We came to cheer the sad
D C G
We came to leave behind the world a better way
G
Now if I'm walkin' through the rain
C
And I hear you call my name
D C G
I will break into a run without a pause
G
And if your love laughs at your dreams
C
Well it's not as bad as it seems
D C G
Either way one of them has got to go
G
And if you take of my soul
C
You can still leave it whole
D C G
With the pieces of you own you leave behind

We came for salvation

We came for family

We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away
C
We came to break the bad
G
We came to cheer the sad
D C G
We came to leave behind the world a better way
G
And I would give up everything
C
And if you were to come up clean
D C G
And see you shine so bright in a world of woe
G
And they may pay us off in fame
C
But that is not why we came
D C G
And if it compromises truth then we will go

We came for salvation

Intro:
G Bm G Bm
Verse:
G Bm G
It's the place and your friends that got me down
Bm G
Telling me I should not hang around
D C G
There's a sign in the window
D C G
Telling me I've got to go
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
G Bm
I see the signs every day
G Bm G
In your face and in the way that you act
D C G
It's not that that hurts my pride
D C G
Now I see the other side of you
D C G
The side that won't let down the side that wont let go
Solo:
Not Yet :/
Verse:(Repeat)
Didn't mean for me to see
the things I see in you and me
Now I know that we can live together
The way I want to live free forever
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
D
Uh uh uh
C
Uh uh uh
G
Uh uh uh
End on G
It's also fun to fingerpick the top 3 strings as opposed to strumming the
entire chord. Would sound nice on a banjo or mandalin, but this works fine:
G Bm

B|---0-----0-----0-----0------0----3-----3-----3-----3------3-------|
