Ethel Cain – Sun Bleached Flies (Guitar)

E                                       A
Sun-bleached flies sitting in the windowsill

E                          A
Waiting for the day they escape

          E                                   A
They talk all about their money and how their babies are always changing

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

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

E                  A
We all know how it goes

E                              A
The more it hurts, the less it shows

E                    Emaj7     A
But I still feel like they all know

E                            D       A
And that's why I could never go back home

      E     Emaj7 A
And I spend my life

E                          A
Watching it go by from the sidelines

    E    Emaj7 A
And God, I've tried

      E                           D    A
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 (hit 'em twice as hard)

             B                                A
But I always knew that in the end, no one was coming to save me

          A                  Amaj7       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 (oh, oh)

    B                               A
So I met him there and told him I believe (oh, oh)

          E                        D       A
Singing, "If it's meant to be then it will be" (it'll be)

  C#m               B                A
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (back to me, oh)

E                                A
If it's meant to be then it will be (oh, it will be, yeah)

     B                              A
So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah)

          E                         D      A
Singing, "If it's meant to be then it will be" (oh)

  C#m               B                A
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (it all comes back to me)

E                                A
If it's meant to be then it will be (it will be, it will be, it will be)

     B                              A
So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah)

          E                        D       A
Singing, "If it's meant to be then it will be" (yeah)

      C#m               B                A
And I forgive it all as it comes back to me (oh)

              E                         A
And 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

     C#m                 B          A
It's all I know and it's all I want now
