You know that bGad lF#muck will eEmat you uDp 
GWheAn’s it gonna end? 
  GI twisted everytF#mhing I could Em  
Out of words D  
In real life my cGoloAurs never blend G  A  
When I was a Dboy I sGaid to mysAelf 
That I’d never Dlean on aGnyone eF#mlse 
Oh, but DI was wrong 
Yeah GI was wrong 
And my Amother took me by the hands and then 
DOh, Goh how I pArayed 
That the Dgood Lord would Gcome and tF#make me awAay 
From this Dmess of a Glife that I’m iAn 
And I fell to my Dknees Goh and I cAried 
As the Dlightning rose uGp from the eF#marth to the sAky 
In this Dwreck of a lGife that I’m Ain 
In this Dmess of a liGfe that I’m iAn 
GCome on you got a lF#mot to give 
A Emlot to live for 
And Dhope it all gets GbetAter 
You Gtwisted everything you F#mcan out of Emanything 
I Dknow it’s gonna get GbetAter G  A  
And I’m so sick and Dtired of lGying arAound 
We’re all waiting for sDomeone to lGight up this tF#mown 
Oh, it Dwon’t be long 
It Gwon’t be long 
And I Aknow I should have left town but I Dstayed 
GOh how I pArayed 
That the gDood Lord would Gcome and tF#make me awAay 
From this Dmess of a Glife that I’m iAn 
And I fell to my Dknees oGh and I Acried 
As the Dlightning rose uGp from the eF#marth to the sAky 
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m iAn 
In this Dmess of a lGife that I’m iAn 
DOh and it feels like I’m writing a boGok and I can’t get insApired 
SomeDtimes 
It seems that I’m breathing in smGoke and my lungs are so tAired 
Oh Dwell 
I’ll just sleep it all off and then Ghope that it don’t get me 
Afired 
And I’m asking you Dplease 
Oh Goh how I Aprayed 
That the Dgood Lord would Gcome and tF#make me aAway 
From this Dmess of a Glife that I’m iAn 
And I fell to my Dknees oGh and I Acried 
As the Dlightning rose uGp from the F#mearth to the Asky 
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m iAn 
And Doh, Goh how I Aprayed 
That the Dgood Lord would Gcome and F#mtake me awAay 
From this Dmess of a Glife that I’m Ain 
And I fell to my kDnees oGh and I Acried 
As the Dlightning rose Gup from the F#mearth to the Asky 
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m Ain 
In this Dmess of a Glife that I’m Ain 
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m Ain 
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m Ain 
In this Dmess of a Glife that I’m Ain 
In this Dmess of a Glife that I’m Ain  (and I fell to my knees)
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m Ain
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m Ain
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m Ain
In this Dwreck of a Glife that I’m AinD

fired

And I’m asking you please
