Intro
[Am] [Em] [G] [D]
Verse 1
[Am] [Em]
If you would've blinked then I would've
[G] [D]
Looked away at the first glance
[Am] [Em]
If you tasted poison, you could've
[G] [D]
Spit me out at the first chance
[Am] [Em]
And if I was some paint, did it splatter
[G] [D]
On a promising grown man?
[Am] [Em]
And if I was a child did it matter
[G] [D]
If you got to wash your hands?
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [Em] [G] [D]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all I used to do was pray
[Am] [G]
Would've, could've, should've
[D]
If you'd never looked my way
Chorus
[G] [D]
I would've stayed on my knees
[Am] [C]
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
[G] [D]
At nineteen
[Am] [C]
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
[G] [D] [Am]
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
[C]
Memories feel like weapons
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
Verse 2
[Am] [Em]
If you never touched me, I would've
[G] [D]
Gone along with the righteous
[Am] [Em]
If I never blushed, then they could've
[G] [D]
Never whispered about this
[Am] [Em]
And if you never saved me from boredom
[G] [D]
I could've gone on as I was
[Am] [Em]
But, Lord, you made me feel important
[G] [D]
And then you tried to erase us
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [Em] [G] [D]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're a crisis of my faith
[Am] [G]
Would've, could've, should've
[D]
If I'd only played it safe
Chorus
[G] [D]
I would've stayed on my knees
[Am] [C]
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
[G] [D]
At nineteen
[Am] [C]
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
[G] [D] [Am]
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
[C]
Memories feel like weapons
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
Bridge
[G]
God rest my soul
[D]
I miss who I used to be
[Am]
The tomb won't close
[C] [G]
Stained glass windows in my mind
[D] [Am] [C]
I regret you all the time
[G]
I can't let this go
[D]
I fight with you in my sleep
[Am]
The wound won't close
[C] [G]
I keep on waiting for a sign
[D] [Am] [C]
I regret you all the time
Verse 3
[Em] [D] [C]
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
[Em] [D] [C]
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
[G] [D] [Am] [C] [G] [D]
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first
Chorus
[Am] [C]
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
[G] [D]
At nineteen
[Am] [C]
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven
[G] [D] [Am]
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
[C]
Memories feel like weapons
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
