[Verse]
Em D G
I know that i’ve made mistakes,
Em D G
and i’m aware I’ve told some lies.
Em D G
I’m sorry that i broke your heart.
Em D G
You’ll be glad to know that i broke mine.
Em D G
Well i lost two good friends this year,
Em D G
and i buried both my dogs,
Em D G Em
So if you think that I’ve been hiding out of fear,
C D G
then you just don’t know me at all
[Chorus]
C G
You can hate me if you want to.
C G
That’s if you think you’ve got a right.
C G Em
Just make sure that you’re not jumping to conclusions
C D G
before you go to draw your knife.
[Verse]
Em D G
I never meant to hurt a soul,
Em D G
but just keep saying what you will.
Em D G Em
I just tried to use the earth to fill a hole,
C D G
i’ve found that God can only fill.
Em D G
I learned a lot of things this year
Em D G
But theres one thing that helped the most.
Em D G Em
It’s okay to burn a bridge down to the ground,
C D G
right where you should’ve built a moat.
[Chorus]
C G
You can hate me if you want to.
C G
That’s if you think you’ve got a right.
C G Em
Just make sure that you’re not jumping to conclusions
C D G
before you go to draw your knife.
C D G
before you go to draw your knife.
C D G
before you go to draw your knife.
[Bridge]
Em C G D
I can feel the pressure coming over me like setting sails.
Em C
Tried to come to my senses,
G D
but sometimes they tend to fail.
Em C
And i tried to come out swinging
G D
but i couldn’t hold back tears.
Em C
It’s no wonder that a can of soup
G D
can’t get me through this year.
Em C G D
and I’ve taken advantage of the debt that Jesus paid
Em C
and i’m scared my heart has damage
G D
from the wars that i have waged
Em C G Em*
and its true before, i’ve been a whore like Mary Magdalene,
C D
And I’ve felt stones that crack my bones,
G Em
i’m just glad that God stepped in.
C D G
I’m glad that God stepped in.

[Tag]
Em D G
Well, there’s a Father that forgives,
Em D G
and there’s a God that knows the truth.
Em D G
So i’m not scared to face his Judgment.
Em D G
i’m just scared that you will too.
Em D G
So you can go burn all my records,
Em D G
and put me six feet in the ground.
Em D G Em
Theres still a flame that burns forever in my heart
C D G
Your hatred just cannot put out.
C D G
Your hatred just cannot put out.
