[Intro] F C G Am F C G Gadd11 [Verse 1]
                F                 C              G              Am
Well, I've been running for the keep, I've been wrestling in my sleep

      F            C            G
Been wearing these skins for so long

          F                C           G             Am
I've been running from the gun, from my own father's son

            F          C         G
Too used to running to settle my home

           F                     G              C
And all my lies just bought more land for me to roam
[Chorus]
      Am                C
And I know that I'm not right

              E7           Am
But I'm still putting up a fight

      F                   C                 G
And I know my hands can't hold all I aim to steal

      Am                 C
And I know that there is a cure

         E7                Am
For this sickness my heart endures

         F              C             G
But it's hard to walk, naked into the light
[Verse 2]
                F             C          G             Am
Well, since she called me the deceiver I admit that I believed her

            F             C               G
And I was raised by that name, her first son

            F             C               G            Am
Some nights I stay up and wonder, am I a con man or a brother?

           F           C             G
But in the morning my heart wakes up numb

           F                   G                C
And all my lies just make more cause for me to run
[Chorus]
      Am                C
And I know that I'm not right

              E7           Am
But I'm still putting up a fight

      F                   C                 G
And I know my hands can't hold all I aim to steal

      Am                   C
And I know that there is a cure

         E7                Am
For this sickness my heart endures

         F              C              G
But it's hard to walk, naked into the light

           F              C              G
Yeah, it's hard to walk, naked into the light
[Interlude] F C G Am F C G Gadd11 [Outro]
             F                C             G               Am
Well, in the night I saw your doorstep from my dreams while I slept

            F         C            G
And angels stood where my head had lain

      F                C                 G                  Am
And I know I should be grateful, but my heart, it's just so tangled

       F              C            G
In the words and the lies and the pain

       F           G              Am
So touch me and I won't walk the same

      F           C            G
Oh, God, would You give me a name?

              F                  G              C
'Cause all my lies just left one person here to blame
