         E
Son of a preacher,

Bm            D
Scared of the world,

A            E            Bm  D/F#
Guarding his heart like a fed,

A             E
Sawn off pump-action,

Bm        D
Backwater girl,

A          E             Bm    D/F#
Everything here wants us dead.

My mama’s always been good at making me cry,

        A            E         Bm    D/F#
Til I’m holding that gun to my head,

 A        E           Bm                  D
America’s sweetheart, starved straight to death,

         A                 E           Bm          D/F#
And some say they’re still peeling her out of that bed,

          A
Bless her heart.
[Chorus 1]
       E              Bm       D
I keep praying you’ll save me,

A      E            Bm    D/F#
  All alone in this house,

A          E            Bm      D
Fucking my guts like he hates me,

A            E          Bm    D/F#
Spitting his love in my mouth,

A         E          Bm    D
I feel so goddamn crazy,

            A              E      Bm    D/F#
I think the heat’s getting to me again,

       A        E         Bm        D
But my son of a preacher, sinful as ever,

A            E            Bm              D/F#
Lies like he does and I’m still all over him.

Neighbor’s daughter’s been missing,

Who keeps track anymore,

Well they found her this morning,

Looking worse than before.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
      A        E
Stood over her casket,

Bm              D
Thinking you’re next,

      A     E           Bm   D/F#
But America beat you in line,

A                 E            Bm
Scared you’ll end up like your daddy,

     D                A
High strung, from his neck,

        E         Bm            D/F#
Begging his reflection for more time,

     A
More time.
