[Intro] E A E A
E A D A
E A
Sun bleached flies sitting in the windowsill
E A
Waiting for the day they escape
E A
They talk all about that money and how their babies are always
Changing
E D A
While they're breathing in the poison of the pain
E A
What I wouldn't give to be in church this Sunday
E A
Listening to the choir, so heartfelt, all singing
E A
God loves you, but not enough to save you
E D A
So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself
B A
So I said fine, 'cause that's how my daddy raised me
B E A
If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard
B A
But in the end, if I bend under the weight that they gave me
E B A
Then this heart would break and fall as twice as far
( B A E A E )
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 A
And that's why I can never go back home
E A E A
And I spend my life watching it go by from the sidelines
E A E D A
And God, I've tried, but I think it's about time I put up a fight
B A
But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me (how my daddy raised me)
B A
If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard
B A
But I always knew that in the end no one was coming to save me
A A Am E
So I just prayed and I keep praying and praying and praying
E A
If it's meant to be then it will be
B A
So I met him there and told him I believe
E A
Singing if it's meant to be then it'll be
B A
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (back to me)
E A
If it's meant to be then it will be
B A
So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah)
E A
Singing if it's meant to be then it will be (oh, oh)
B A
I forgive it all as it comes back 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 A
So I met him there and told him I believe (yeah)
E A
Singing if it's meant to be then it will be
B A
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (oh)
E A
I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska
E A
By the highway, out on the edge of 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
