           G
And if you take my heart

      C                    
Don't leave the smallest part

        D               C                 G
I've no need to live if you're to come up gone

          G 
And as my life turns to a song

           C     
And if and when I treat you wrong

      D             C            G
No, I never want to hurt our family

            G
And I would give up everything

            C
No, this is not just about me

            D              C              G
And I don't know a plainer way to say it, babe

             G 
And they may pay us off in fame

               C
Though that is not why we came

           D                  C              G
And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts

            C
We came for salvation

             G
We came for family

            D                       C               G
We came for all that's good, that's how we'll walk away

           C
We came to break the bad

           G
We came to cheer the sad

           D                C              G
We came to leave behind the world a better way

           G
Now if I'm walkin' through the rain

      C
And I hear you call my name

       D            C             G
I will break into a run without a pause

             G
And if your love laughs at your dreams

               C
Well, it's not as bad as it seems

       D          C               G
Either way one of them has got to go

           G
And if you take of my soul

        C
You can still leave it whole

          D             C               G
With the pieces of your own you leave behind

            C
We came for salvation

            G
We came for family

            D                       C               G
We came for all that's good, that's how we'll walk away

           C
We came to break the bad

           G
We came to cheer the sad

           D                C              G
We came to leave behind the world a better way

            G
And I would give up everything

            C
And if you were to come up clean

            D               C             G
And see you shine so bright in a world of woe

             G
And they may pay us off in fame

            C
But that is not why we came

          D            C                 G
And if it compromises truth then we will go

            C
We came for salvation

            G
We came for family

            D                       C               G
We came for all that's good, that's how we'll walk away

           C
We came to break the bad

           G
We came to cheer the sad

           D                C              G
We came to leave behind the world a better way
