G - Bm - G - F# (x4)
[Verse 1]
G Bm G F#
I've been here forever in the cold
G Bm G F# G Bm G F#
Waiting in the weather while you go out searching for our gold
G Bm G F# G Bm G F#
But nothing lasts forever I've been told
G Bm G F# G Bm G F#
Nothing lasts forever, oh, but some of this shit's gettin' pretty old

G D G D
Oh oh oh, if the son of God

Oh oh oh, if the son of God
G D G D
Would write it down for me in his own handwriting

Oh oh oh, then I'd be good, then I'd be good

G Bm G F#
But still you don't believe me
G Bm G F# G Bm G F#
As if I would be lyin', as if I were a suspect
G Bm G F# G Bm G F#
As if I were not crying, as if I was not forgiven

For my sins, as if the mirror's broken
G Bm G F#
And I would get no chance on that side again

Softly and so sweetly, because you never know who's gonna overhear
G Bm G F# G Bm G F#
Well, if you're gonna shame me, say my name
G Bm G F# G Bm G F#
And if you're gonna blame, well then, lay the blame, lay the blame
[Chorus]
