[Intro]
F C G Am
F C G Gadd11
[Verse 1]
Well, I've been Frunning for the keCep, I've been wGrestling in my Amsleep
Been wFearing these Cskins for so Glong
I've been Frunning from the Cgun, from my Gown father's Amson
Too used to Frunning to Csettle my Ghome
And all my Flies just bought more Gland for me to Croam
[Chorus]
And I Amknow that I'm not Cright
But I'm still E7putting up a Amfight
And I Fknow my hands can't Chold all I aim to Gsteal
And I Amknow that there is Ca cure
For this E7sickness my heart Amendures
But it's Fhard to walk, nCaked into the Glight
[Verse 2]
Well, since she Fcalled me the Cdeceiver I Gadmit that I bAmelieved her
And I was raFised by that nCame, her first sGon
Some nights FI stay up and Cwonder, am I a cGon man or a bAmrother?
But in the Fmorning my hCeart wakes up Gnumb
And all my Flies just make more Gcause for me to rCun
[Chorus]
And I Amknow that I'm not Cright
But I'm still E7putting up a Amfight
And I Fknow my hands can't Chold all I aim to Gsteal
And I Amknow that there is a Ccure
For this E7sickness my heart Amendures
But it's Fhard to walk, nCaked into the lGight
Yeah, it's Fhard to walk, nCaked into the lGight
[Interlude]
F C G Am
F C G Gadd11
[Outro]
Well, in the Fnight I saw your Cdoorstep from Gmy dreams while AmI slept
And angels sFtood where Cmy head had Glain
And I Fknow I should be Cgrateful, but my hGeart, it's just so Amtangled
In the Fwords and the lCies and the pGain
So toucFh me and I wGon't walk the sAmame
Oh, GoFd, would You Cgive me a naGme?
'Cause all my Flies just left one Gperson here to Cblame

Gadd11

[Intro]

F C G Am

F C G Gadd11

[Verse 1]

F C G Am

Well, I've been running for the keep, I've been wrestling in my sleep

F C G

Been wearing these skins for so long

F C G Am

I've been running from the gun, from my own father's son

F C G

Too used to running to settle my home

F G C

And all my lies just bought more land for me to roam

[Chorus]

Am C

And I know that I'm not right

E7 Am

But I'm still putting up a fight

F C G

And I know my hands can't hold all I aim to steal

Am C

And I know that there is a cure

E7 Am

For this sickness my heart endures

F C G

But it's hard to walk, naked into the light

[Verse 2]

F C G Am

Well, since she called me the deceiver I admit that I believed her

F C G

And I was raised by that name, her first son

F C G Am

Some nights I stay up and wonder, am I a con man or a brother?

F C G

But in the morning my heart wakes up numb

F G C

And all my lies just make more cause for me to run

[Chorus]

Am C

And I know that I'm not right

E7 Am

But I'm still putting up a fight

F C G

And I know my hands can't hold all I aim to steal

Am C

And I know that there is a cure

E7 Am

For this sickness my heart endures

F C G

But it's hard to walk, naked into the light

F C G

Yeah, it's hard to walk, naked into the light

[Interlude]

F C G Am

F C G Gadd11

[Outro]

F C G Am

Well, in the night I saw your doorstep from my dreams while I slept

F C G

And angels stood where my head had lain

F C G Am

And I know I should be grateful, but my heart, it's just so tangled

F C G

In the words and the lies and the pain

F G Am

So touch me and I won't walk the same

F C G

Oh, God, would You give me a name?

F G C

'Cause all my lies just left one person here to blame
