[Verse 1]
G Am Em
When I was young, my mother told me
"Don't play with guns,
C G
that shit ain't holy
Am Em
There ain't outlaws in Heaven"
G Am Em
I got old and my father told me
C G
"Go get a gun, protect the family
Am Em
Ain't nothing but outlaws in the real world"
C G
So I got a gun,
Am Em
thought the Lord would hold me
C
And I don't feel bad, hell,
G
I don't feel holy
Am Em
Guess I'll have to find out on my own
C Cmaj7 Em C
G D/F# Em C
G D/F#
[Chorus]
Em C G
I don't know if I was made from God's hands
D/F#
But I know my father is a good man
Em C
I'm realizing now how the world bleeds
G D/F#
So, if you're gonna burn him,
you can burn me
Em C G
I'm sick and tired of staring at the sunrise
D/F#
Just waiting for a truth I know just won't arrive
Em C
So don't you go and tell me how it should be
G D/F#
Hell, if you're gonna burn him,
you can burn me
Em C G D/F#
[Verse 2]
G Am Em
When I was young, my mother told me
"You don't go to God,
C G
you'll end up lonely
Am Em
We are nothing without faith"
C G
Said,
Am Em
"How 'bout dad? He must feel lonely"
C G
And she got mad and firmly told me
Am Em C Cmaj7
"Don't you go asking questions"
[Chorus]
Em C G
And I don't know if I was made from God's hands
D/F#
But I know my father is a good man
Em C
I'm realizing now how the world bleeds
G D/F#
So, if you're gonna burn him,
Em
you can burn me
C G
I'm sick and tired of staring at the sunrise
D/F#
Waiting for a truth I know just won't arrive
Em C
Don't you go and tell me how it should be
G D/F#
Hell, if you're gonna burn him,
Em
you can burn me
C G D/F# Em
You can burn me
C G D/F#
Hell, if you're gonna burn him,
you can burn me
[Outro]
G Am Em G
When I was young,
Am Em
my mother told me
"Don't play with guns,
C G
no that ain't holy
Am Em
There ain't outlaws in Heaven"
