Sun Bleached Flies

[Intro] E  A  E  A
        E  A  D  A

E                                 
Sun bleached flies sitting in the 
      A
windowsill
E                        A
Waiting for the day they escape
          E                        
They talk all about that money and 
          A
how their babies are always

Changing
E                            
While they're breathing in the 
  D             A
poison of the pain

E                             A
What I wouldn't give to be in church
 this Sunday
E                        
Listening to the choir, so 
            A
heartfelt, all singing
E                             A
God loves you, but not enough to 
save you
E                                 
So, baby girl, good luck taking 
      D    A
care of yourself

          B                        
So I said fine, 'cause that's how 
        A
my daddy raised me
               B                 
If they strike once then you just 
          E       A
hit 'em twice as hard
           B                       
But in the end, if I bend under the
 A
 weight that they gave me
          E                        
Then this heart would break and 
     B        A
fall as twice as far

                   A
We all know how it goes
E                             A
The more it hurts, the less it shows
E                              A
But I still feel like they all know
E                                  
And that's why I can never go back 
A
home
E              A    E           
And I spend my life watching it 
                   A
go by from the sidelines
E             A            E    
And God, I've tried, but I think
                   D        A
 it's about time I put up a fight

B                                 
But I don't mind 'cause that's how
          A
 my daddy raised me (how my daddy 
raised me)
               B                 
If they strike once then you just 
                  A
hit 'em twice as hard
             B                     
But I always knew that in the end 
          A
no one was coming to save me
          A                 A     
So I just prayed and I keep 
      Am          E
praying and praying and praying

E                                A
If it's meant to be then it will be
     B                            
So I met him there and told him I 
A
believe
        E                       
Singing if it's meant to be then 
       A
it'll be
                       B           
I forgive it all as it comes back 
  A
to me (back to me)

E                                A
If it's meant to be then it will be
B                                 
So I met him there and told him I 
  A
believe (I believe, yeah)
        E                          
Singing if it's meant to be then it
      A
 will be (oh, oh)
                       B           
I forgive it all as it comes back 
  A
to me (it comes back to me)

E                              A
If it's meant to be then it'll be 
(it'll be, it'll be, it'll be)
     B                            
So I met him there and told him I 
A
believe (yeah)
        E                          
Singing if it's meant to be then it
      A
 will be
                       B           
I forgive it all as it comes back 
  A
to me (oh)

E                                 
I'm still praying for that house 
  A
in Nebraska
E                                  
By the highway, out on the edge of 
A
town
E
Dancing with the windows open
A
I can't let go when something's 
broken
                    B
It's all I know and it's all I want 
now
