we use to fit together, she was so open
E D E D
let me in deep, fed my hope
E D E D
and the years flew by, now we're older and broken
E D E D
what did I do to make this bright light go dim
A D A D
my my, how we've changed
A D A D
bitter is the fruit of the love we've made
E D E D
good god, what did I say
E D E D
to make you repeat my sins this way
G D
I never pray, you own me nothing
Am C
but if it's judgment day leave her and take me
G D
she's the innocent and I'm the one you want
Am C
and if it's judgment day leave her and take me
you use to sleep on my chest, your body so warm
the top of your head still smelled like a newborn
and you were salvation, I thought you could atone for me
but I'm just the same, and you've sins of your own, I see
my my, how we've grown
crooked as the seed that a father sowed
I never pray, you own me nothing
but if it's judgment day leave her and take me
she's the innocent and I'm the one you want
and if it's judgment day leave her and take me
leave her and take me
good god, it's the family disease
we're bent as the branch on a cottonwood tree
I never pray, you own me nothing
but if it's judgment day leave her and take me
she's the innocent and I'm the one you want
and if it's judgment day leave her and take me
Am C
leave her and take me
Am C
leave her and take me
