F#m D F#m D
[Verse]
F#mYou’d think that I would leDarn to hold my tongF#mue once and for aDll.
F#mBut I’m growing old Dand still running off my mF#mouth like I can’t get enDough.
EBut save your mF#mercy for the lDost.
EI don’t have timF#me for these regDrets.
And Edon’t you dare reF#mmind me of the Dcost 
E‘cause how the hF#mell could I forgDet?
F#m D F#m D
[Verse]
F#mAnd I’ve gotten gDood at pulling people F#min and pushing everyone awaDy.
F#mI’ve shouted worDds and said hateful thinF#mgs that no one decent should say.D  
EBut save forF#mgiveness for the Dweak.
EI’ve made it F#mthis far on my Down.
EAnd I’m not thF#me man of your drDeams
Ebut more like the siF#mnner that you sDtone.
F#m E D E
[Chorus]
F#mGod only knowEs the darker side of meD.
The pieces of my hEeart I don’t want you to F#msee.
And heaven forbEid you find out who I aDm
‘cause if you knew the Etruth I’m terrified you’ll F#mleave.
I’ve got to chEange or I’ll die alDone.
And I don’t desEerve all the grace that you’ve disF#mplayed.
I’ll nail you to the cEross again ‘cause once was not enDough.
My sinful heart feels wEay too gone now to eF#mver be saved.

[Verse]
ESo keep me F#mclose to where you Dare
E‘cause God knF#mows I’m prone to stDray.
EAnd write my F#mname upon your hDeart
Eand swear you’ll aF#mlways keep mDe safe.
