The 11Th Commandment

Em  Em7  Em7

[Verse 1]
    Em                           
She hears his heavy breathing in   
Bm
the dark
    Em                           C
His footsteps coming closer down the
 hall
      Am                       
She's so ashamed, she's daddy's 
        Bm
secret love
    Am                             
She wants to cry, she wants to die,
 Bm               E          Em
 but he can't get   enough

[Verse 2]
    Em
The bruises on his face will go away
    Em                             
Mom keeps him home from school till
      C
 they fade
      Am                          
She's sorry he was born and tells 
Bm
him so
   Am                              
He takes it in, he hangs his chin, 
   Bm             Em
he ducks another blow

[Chorus]
D
   Did God overlook it

[Verse 3]
   Em
He cries for hours, cries and never 
stops
   Em                              
He shakes so hard his little cradle
 C
 rocks
      Am                          
He'll never have the chance to be 
Bm
brand new
      Am                Cm        
He'll never walk, he'll never 
  Bm             Em
talk, he's addicted, too

Thou shalt not cause thy children   
Bm
 pain
