C5                  A5          E5
I give you all my body to take
         F5
Take good damn care of it
C5                    A5
The taste of salt and water
     E5           F5
From my, from my shaking timid lips
C5                    A5                  E5
I leave you all the things that I've seen
       F5
In a box in a public space
C5                  A5
So take it, all my memories
         E5
They're yours
         F5
Hold them close to your face

Hold them close
Hold them close
Hold them close
Hold them close
Hold them close

C5           D5
Bring it back
          F5
Bring it home

Show me mercy

I'm a horrible man
C5       D5
Stay tight
         F5
Just don't go

Lay me down and hold my hand

(same as first verse)
I may never live to explain
How I was made for this bedroom
Feel my baby kicking my mouth
Through the skin of her mother
I pray you never hear my sore voice
You don't need to know what I've done
Just know that I am always around
We both share the same blood

(Chorus)
Bring it back
Bring it home
Show me mercy
I'm a horrible man
Stay tight
Just don't go
Lay me down and hold my hand

D5              G5
Deliver all my goodwill
                     C5
And my goodwill to my mom
                       F5
If I die the years before her

Just read this to my brother:
D5              G5
"Be the one to close my eyes
           C5
Be the one not to cry
                        F5
Laugh in my face when I die
                         D5
I've lived one hell of a life
                          G5
I've spent some odd years wishing I could share this with you"

(Chorus)
Bring it back
Bring it home
Show me mercy
I'm a horrible man
Stay tight
Just don't go
Lay me down and hold my hand
C5 A5 E5 F5
Hold them close
Hold them close
Hold them close
Hold them close
Hold them close

(Chorus)
Bring it back
Bring it home
Show me mercy
I'm a horrible man
Stay tight
Just don't go
Lay me down and hold my hand

Bring it back
Bring it home
Show me mercy
I'm a horrible man
Stay tight
Just don't go
Lay me down and hold my hand
