Am              Em 
If you would've blinked then I would've 
G       D 
Looked away at the first glance 
Am            Em 
If you tasted poison,…you…could've 
G       D 
Spit me out…at the first chance 
Am               Em 
And if I was some paint, did it splatter 
G    D 
On a promising grown man? 
Am             Em 
And if I was a child did it matter 
G      D 
If you got to wash your hands? 


Am   Em   G    D 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all I used to do was pray 
Am                  G 
Would've, could've, should've 
D 
If you'd never looked my way 


                  G     D 
I would've stayed on my knees 
      Am                       C 
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil 
G      D 
At nineteen 
        Am                             C 
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven 
G                D                    Am 
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts 
         C 
Memories feel like weapons 
G              D                  Am      C 
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering 


Am           Em 
If you never touched me, I would've 
G     D 
Gone along with the righteous 
Am         Em 
If I never blushed, then they could've 
G     D 
Never whispered about this 
Am               Em 
And if you never saved me from boredom 
G          D 
I could've gone on as I was 
Am                     Em 
But, Lord, you made me feel important 
G            D 
And then you tried to erase us 


Am   Em   G    D 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, you're a crisis of my faith 
Am                  G 
Would've, could've, should've 
D 
If I'd only played it safe 


                  G     D 
I would've stayed on my knees 
      Am                       C 
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil 
G      D 
At nineteen 
        Am                             C 
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven 
G                D                    Am 
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts 
         C 
Memories feel like weapons 
G              D                  Am      C 
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering 


    G 
God rest my soul 
  D 
I miss who I used to be 
    Am 
The tomb won't close 
C                           G 
Stained glass windows in my mind 
D             Am        C 
I regret you all the time 
        G 
I can't let this go 
  D 
I fight with you in my sleep 
    Am 
The wound won't close 
  C                  G 
I keep on waiting for a sign 
D            Am         C 
I regret you all the time 


   Em           D               C 
If clarity's in death, then why won't this die? 
Em           D               C 
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I 
G             D                 Am             C 
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts 
G                D           Am        C   G   D 
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first 


      Am                       C 
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil 
G      D 
At nineteen 
        Am                             C 
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven 
G                D                    Am 
And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts 
         C 
Memories feel like weapons 
G              D                  Am      C 
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering
