[Intro]
Dsus4 Am C G
Dsus4 Am C
G

[Verse 1]
Dsus4
     If you would`ve blinked,
Am
then I would`ve
C           G
 Looked away at the first glance
Dsus4                 Am
     If you tasted poison, you could`ve
C           G
 Spit me out at the first chance
Dsus4
     And if I was some paint,
Am
did it splatter
C        G
 On a promising grown man?
Dsus4                      Am
     And if I was a child, did it matter
C                  G
 If you got to wash your hands?

[Pre-Chorus]
Dsus4    Am
Ooh, ooh,  ooh
C                G
All I used to do was pray
Dsus4                        Am
Would`ve, could`ve, should`ve
            C
If you never looked my way
G                 C     G
I would`ve stayed on my knees

[Chorus]
      F                                             C
And I damn sure would`ve never danced with the devil at
    G
nineteen
        F
And the God`s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
C                 G
 And now that I`m grown,
              F
I`m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
C               G
 And now that I know,
           F
I wish you left me wondering

[Verse 2]
G             Am
 If you never touched me, I would`ve
C      G
 Gone along with the righteous
           Am
If I never blushed, then they could`ve
C      G
 Never whispered about this
                 Am
And if you never saved me from boredom
C           G
 I could`ve gone on as I was
                       Am
But, Lord, you made me feel important
C             G
 And then you tried to erase us

[Pre-Chorus]
Am  G
Ohohoh, ohoh
Fadd9
     You`re a crisis of my faith
Am                  G
Would`ve, could`ve, should`ve
       Fadd9
If I`d only played it safe
                  C     G
I would`ve stayed on my knees

[Chorus]
      F                                             C
And I damn sure would`ve never danced with the devil at
    G
nineteen
        F
And the God`s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
C                 G
 And now that I`m grown,
              F
I`m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
C               G
 And now that I know,
           F
I wish you left me wondering
    C
God rest my soul,
  G
I miss who I used to be
    F
The tomb won't close
                         C
Stained glass windows in my mind
G                F
 I regret you all the time
        C
I can't let this go,
  G
I fight with you in my sleep
    F
The wound won`t close
                     C
I keep on waiting for a sign
G                F
 I regret you all the time

[Bridge]
   Am           G/B
If clarity`s in death,
         F
then why won`t this die?
Am               G/B
Years of tearing down our banners,
F
you and I
C              G/B               F
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
C               G/B
Give me back my girlhood,
   F
it was mine first

[Chorus]
C G
      F                                             C
And I damn sure would`ve never danced with the devil at
    G
nineteen
        F
And the God`s honest truth is that the pain was heaven
C                 G
 And now that I`m grown,
              F
I`m scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
C               G
 And now that I know,
           F
I wish you left me wondering
    C
God rest my soul,
  G
I miss who I used to be
    F
The tomb won't close
                         C
Stained glass windows in my mind
G                F
 I regret you all the time
        C
I can't let this go,
  G
I fight with you in my sleep
    F
The wound won`t close
                     C
I keep on waiting for a sign
G                F
 I regret you all the time

[Outro]
    C
God rest my soul,
  G
I miss who I used to be
    F
The tomb won't close
                         C
Stained glass windows in my mind
G                F
 I regret you all the time
        C
I can't let this go,
  G
I fight with you in my sleep
    F
The wound won`t close
                     C
I keep on waiting for a sign
G                F
 I regret you all the time
