Capo 7
Intro
[Am] [Em] [G] [D]
Verse 1
[Am]If you would've [Em]blinked then I would've
[G]Looked a[D]away at the first glance
[Am]If you tasted [Em]poison, you could've
[G]Spit me [D]out at the first chance
[Am]And if I was some[Em]some paint, did it splatter
[G]On a [D]promising grown man?
[Am]And if I was a [Em]child did it matter
[G]If you [D]got to wash your hands?
Pre-Chorus
[Am]Ooh, [Em]ooh, [G]ooh, [D]all I used to do was pray
[Am]Would've, could've, [G]should've
[D]If you'd never looked my way
Chorus
I would've stayed [G]on my [D]knees
And I [Am]damn sure never would've [C]danced with the devil
[G]At nine[D]nineteen
And the [Am]God's honest
truth is that the [C]pain was heaven
[G]And now that I'm [D]grown, I'm scared of [Am]ghosts
Memories [C]feel like weapons
[G]And now that I [D]know, I wish you'd [Am]left me [C]wondering
Verse 2
[Am]If you never [Em]touched me, I would've
[G]Gone a[D]along with the righteous
[Am]If I never [Em]blushed, then they could've
[G]Never [D]whispered about this
[Am]And if you never [Em]saved me from boredom
[G]I could've [D]gone on as I was
[Am]But, Lord, you made me [Em]feel important
[G]And then you [D]tried to erase us
Pre-Chorus
[Am]Ooh, [Em]ooh, [G]ooh, [D]you're a crisis of my faith
[Am]Would've, could've, [G]should've
[D]If I'd only played it safe
Chorus
I would've stayed [G]on my [D]knees
And I [Am]damn sure never would've [C]danced with the devil
[G]At nine[D]nineteen
And the [Am]God's honest truth
is that the [C]pain was heaven
[G]And now that I'm [D]grown, I'm scared of [Am]ghosts
Memories [C]feel like weapons
[G]And now that I [D]know, I wish you'd [Am]left me [C]wondering
Bridge
God [G]rest my soul
I [D]miss who I used to be
The [Am]tomb won't close
[C]Stained glass windows in my [G]mind
[D]I regret you a[Am]all the tim[C]time
I can't [G]let this go
I [D]fight with you in my sleep
The [Am]wound won't close
I [C]keep on waiting for[G]for a sign
[D]I regret you [Am]all the tim[C]time
Verse 3
If [Em]clarity's in [D]death, then why [C]won't this die?
[Em]Years of tear[D]tearing down our ban[C]banners, you and I
[G]Living for the[D] thrill of hitting[Am] you where it h[C]urts
[G]Give me back my g[D]girlhood, it [Am]was mine f[C]irst[G] [D]
Chorus
And I [Am]damn sure never would've [C]danced with the devil
[G]At nine[D]nineteen
And the [Am]God's honest truth
is that the [C]pain was heaven
[G]And now that I'm [D]grown, I'm scared of [Am]ghosts
Memories [C]feel like weapons
[G]And now that I [D]know, I wish you'd [Am]left me [C]wondering
