Am Em
and if there’ll ever
Am Em
be someone else

G Am
but you need you a saviour
G Am

Am Em
young believers
Am Em
come and see her
Am Em
she has pushed him
Am Em
to the ground
Am Em
though with one hand
Am Em
he could break her
Am Em
with one hand
Am Em
split her in two

F F G C
but the reason that we love him
G Am
is a hope he don’t want to
G Am
is a hope he don’t want to

Am Em
and can you find for me
Am Em
a higher thing?
Am Em
so i can love he
Am Em
who will not fight for me

cause i do not believe

believe that i love thee
Am Em
so fight for me
Am Em
think and feel for me

G Am
but believe that i love you
G Am
but believe that i love you

G Am
and when you’re drinking alone
G Am
no it’s bad for my soul
G Am
take him back to a year ago
G Am
throwing stones at my window

Am Em
ask me demons
Am Em
to hear you moaning on
Am Em

Am Em
like bullets to me
Am Em
put a calm in me
Am Em
knowing it was he
Am Em
who was fxxking crazy
