Ambut if it's judgment day leave her Cand take me 
Gshe's the innocent Dand I'm the one you want 
Amand if it's judgment day leave heCr and take me 
you use to sleep on my chest, your body so warm 
the top of your head still smelled like a newborn 
and you were salvation, I thought you could atone for me 
but I'm just the same, and you've sins of your own, I see 
my my, how we've grown
crooked as the seed that a father sowed 
I never pray, you own me nothing 
but if it's judgment day leave her and take me 
she's the innocent and I'm the one you want 
and if it's judgment day leave her and take me 
leave her and take me 
good god, it's the family disease 
we're bent as the branch on a cottonwood tree 
I never pray, you own me nothing 
but if it's judgment day leave her and take me 
she's the innocent and I'm the one you want 
and if it's judgment day leave her and take me 
Amleave her and Ctake me
Amleave her and tCake me

and if it's judgment day leave her and take me

you use to sleep on my chest, your body so warm

the top of your head still smelled like a newborn

and you were salvation, I thought you could atone for me

but I'm just the same, and you've sins of your own, I see

my my, how we've grown

crooked as the seed that a father sowed

I never pray, you own me nothing

but if it's judgment day leave her and take me

she's the innocent and I'm the one you want

and if it's judgment day leave her and take me

leave her and take me

good god, it's the family disease

we're bent as the branch on a cottonwood tree

I never pray, you own me nothing

but if it's judgment day leave her and take me

she's the innocent and I'm the one you want

and if it's judgment day leave her and take me

Am C

leave her and take me

Am C

leave her and take me
