[Intro] C D G Am C [Verse 1]
C                   D                  G
You said you would fight anybody that hurt me

C              D              G
but you must know it was you too

C                 D                  G
And now you would fight anyone but desert me

C             D             G
Is that what you wanted to do?

C               D              G
Was it about the crimes they committed

C            D                  G
or the violence that you could choose?
[Chorus]
C              D                     G
If you could call our relationship sacred

C          D        G
and put it up on a shelf

C            D             G
and then say that I am a heretic

C           D              G
For wanting something for myself

C                 D                 G
I think that the damn sacred could come down a few steps

C            D                  G
if us sinners could move up an inch
[Verse 2]
C              D                     G
My heart is strong but my burden is heavy

C             D               G
Your mind is not wholly your own

C             D                 G
The eyes that watch you bring pressure

C           D          G
my hands close around bone

G          D            Am
You saved me one time before...
[Chorus]
C                    D        G
but I am not the heretical misfit

C               D             G
you thought that you could protect

C               D           G
and you're not some holy crusader

C               D               G
with a righeous symbol on your chest

C            D           G
My greatest virtue is loyalty

C            D               G
to all who I've promised it to

C                D                            G
and your worst sin is you destroyed and betrayed yourself
[Bridge]
C              Am
and it came to nothing

C                    Am
and you sent us all running

C                       D
you did what you had to do
[Chorus]
C                  D                      G
Now I want you to fight everybody that hurt me

C             D                   G
              (wait wait for me)
and heal the wounds that you've dealt
C              D              G
                       (I'm coming home)
join in my cause don't desert me
C               D              G
                             (stay stay with me)
you have more love than I've felt
C                D               G
                                   (I'm coming home)
This is about the crimes they committed
C                D          G
                             (Pray pray for me)
now it is your chance to choose
C                   D                  G
                                     (I'm coming home)
Please swallow the pride you've been gifted
C         D                G
                     (to you)
My dear I am counting on you [Outro] C D G Am C
