As recorded by Jelly Roll (From the 2024 Album BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN) [Intro] D E Bm A [Verse 1]
     D
Your blood is my  blood and poison runs deep

Em                             Bm         A
Knowing you're mine scares the hell outta me

       D
'Cause hurt is a sickness and trauma is too

    Em                     Bm         A
And I'd rather die than to pass it to you
[Chorus]
              D
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal

Em               Bm           A
My pain to bury, not yours to feel

  D
I pray every day I can love you enough

   Em                Bm       A             D    Em   Bm  A
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
[Verse 2]
D
I hope to God you don't get my addictions

      Em                     Bm        A
Don't deal with my demons or make my decisions

      D
Yeah, I hope the apple falls far from the tree

        Em                      Bm              A
And the sins of the father stop right here with me
[Chorus]
              D
'Cause that's my cross to carry, my scars to heal

Em               Bm           A
My pain to bury, not yours to feel

  D
I pray every day I can love you enough

   Em                Bm       A             G
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
[Bridge]
F#m                    Em
Won't be yours to pass down

Bm       A           G
And whеn you make mistakes on your own

  D/F#
I hope that you know

       Em                   A
You'll nеver go through it alone
[Chorus]
       D
That's my cross to carry, my scars to heal

Em               Bm           A
My pain to bury, not yours to feel

  D
I pray every day I can love you enough

   Em                Bm       A             D
So my cross to carry won't be yours to pick up
[Outro]
                       Em
Won't be yours to pick up

Bm       A             D
Won't be yours to pick up
