HGm7eavenly father uD7p above
Have mercy on Gm7me
After 7 years of bD7ad bad love
I finally got fGm7ree
I don't mean to sG7eem ungratefuCm7l
D7You answered my prayGm7ers
And father if you're ablD7e
Don't let me do the same damn thing all over Gm7again
Gm7You get the fever
D7You get the itch
And you forget about the mGm7ess you were in
You forget about the money the D7lawyers and the pain
And do the same damn thing all oC7ver again
Oh Gm7mighty father greD7at and good
You need to be in my shGm7oes
You let me fall in love juD7st like before
And now I'm stepping in a big pile of the bGm7lues
But now the G7honeymoon is oCm7ver
D7Let's not preteGm7nd
I guess I nG7ever
Learned my lessoCm7n
I did the sD7ame damn thing all over agaiGm7n
You Gm7get the fever
YoD7u get the itch
And you forget about the mGm7ess you were in
You forget about the money the D7lawyers and the pain
And do the same damn thing all C7over again
MotGm7her Mary, father JoD7e
I need to talk to your Gm7son
He had troubles jD7ust like mine
And he's the choseGm7n one
So if I G7ever go to heCm7aven, wD7ill that be the Gm7end?
Or will I fG7all for some sweet lCm7ittle angel
And do the sD7ame damn thing all over again
You Gm7get the fever
YoD7u get the itch
And you forget about the mGm7ess you were in
You forget about the money, the D7lawyers and the pain
And do the same damn thing all oC7ver againGm7
