Am7D7 I'm going to a town that has already been burned down
Gmaj7Cmaj7 I'm going to a place that is already been disgraced

(Back to Verse) Tell me do you really think you go to hell for having loved Tell me and not for thinking every thing that you've done is good I really need to know After soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood I'm so tired of America I really need to know
