[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
You've known God since you were a child
G
Read your Bible, and you prayed every night
Cmaj7
Sunday mornings were made for revival
G
So it still feels like you're gods child
Cmaj7 Riff G
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
And They go to church to find their worth
G
But you let numbers define yours
Cmaj7
So you leave marks all on your arms
G
One for each flaw that you find In God's desire
Cmaj7 riff G
in you
[Pre-Chorus/Verse 3]
Cmaj7
And they say we're not perfect, make us feel worthless
G
For all the things we've done and the wrongs we've done
Cmaj7
They make it a game of wrong and rights
G
We're damned to hell if we don't play right
Strummed

[Chorus]
C Em
And the more strings that you pick, the more anxious you get
Ebmaj7
Are getting worn out
C Em
And those words that you sing are the way that you bleed
Emaj7
You're bleeding out
C Em
And you hate who you are even worse who you're not
Emaj7
So you write this song
C Em
And beautiful poetry so they'll see something lovely
Emaj7 G
Instead of broken things
