once i knew this boy
                   F#5
you wanted what you could get
       G#5           C#5
if you wanted it so bad
            F#5             G#5 [pause]     C#5
why did you go and take it out in trade instead


C#5      
my momma cried
              F#5
she shook and wandered off
     G#5
to a different place and
C#5                              F#5              G#5 
my daddy couldn't make things better then if he couldn't say it


G5               A5     D5
wait around and maybe i'll
G5               A5      D5
forget about it after awhile but
  G5               A5       D5  E5
instead i like to think a-head
 G5          A5        D5 
  'til they find you dead

[Bridge w/ Bridge riff]
         C#5   
skipping out on god is bad
                   F#5
but not worse than mitigating it
G#5
that's why i don't
C#5
make the time to hope and pray
   F#5             G#5
so i'm just gonna shine
       C#5               F#5                    G#5
in the brillance of the only one who's gotten you behind


G5               A5     D5
wait around and maybe i'll
G5               A5      D5
forget about it after awhile but
  G5               A5       D5  E5
instead i like to think a-head
( G5 )         A5        D5 
  'til they find you dead


G5               A5     D5 
wait around and maybe i'll
G5               A5      D5
forget about it after awhile but
  G5                A5      D5  E5
instead i like to think a-head
       G5       A5
'til i find a bag and
G5      A5
get my turn in
G5    A5        D5
effigy you'll burn
