[Intro]
[G] [Am] [Em] [G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]               [Em]
When I was young, my mother told me
[C]                     [G]
"Don't play with guns, that shit ain't holy
[Am]         [Em]       [G]
There ain't outlaws in Heaven"
[Am]                     [Em]
I got old and my father told me
[C]                    [G]
"Go get a gun, protect the family
[Am]             [Em]           [C]
Ain't nothing but outlaws in the real world"
[G]               [Am]                            [Em]
So I got a gun, thought the Lord would hold me
[C]                       [G]
And I don't feel bad, hell, I don't feel holy
[Am]            [Em]  [C]
Guess I'll have to find out on my own

[Interlude]
[Em]  [C]  [G]  [D/F#]
[Em]  [C]  [G]  [D/F#]

[Chorus]
[Em]                [C]                        [G]
I don't know if I was made from God's hands
[D/F#]                [Em]
But I know my father is a good man
[C]                       [G]
I'm realizing now how the world bleeds
[D/F#]                     [Em]
So, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me
[C]                     [G]
I'm sick and tired of staring at the sunrise
[D/F#]                    [Em]
Just waiting for a truth I know just won't arrive
[C]                  [G]
So don't you go and tell me how it should be
[D/F#]
Hell, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me

[Interlude]
[Em]  [C]  [G]  [D/F#]

[Verse 2]
[G]            [Am]                  [Em7]
When I was young, my mother told me
[C]                     [G]
"You don't go to God, you'll end up lonely
[Am]              [Em7]                     [C]
We are nothing without faith" (Nothing without faith)
[G]                 [Am7]                  [Em7]
Said, "How 'bout dad? Hе must feel lonely"
[C]                  [G]
And she got mad and firmly told me
[Am7]      [Em]          [C]
"Don't you go asking quеstions"

[Chorus]
[Em7]                    [C]                        [G]
And I don't know if I was made from God's hands
[D/F#]                [Em]
But I know my father is a good man
[C]                       [G]
I'm realizing now how the Earth bleeds
[D/F#]                     [Em]
So, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me
[C]                     [G]
I'm sick and tired of staring at the sunrise
[D/F#]                    [Em]
Just waiting for a truth I know just won't arrive
[C]                  [G]
So don't you go and tell me how it should be
[D/F#]                [Em7]  [C]  [G]  [G/B]  [Em7]  [C]  [G]
Hell, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me

[Post-Chorus]
[D/F#]
Hell, if you're gonna burn him, you can burn me

[Outro]
[G]  [Am]  [Em]     [G]
[Am]                [Em]
When I was young, my mother told me
[C]                     [G]
"Don't play with guns, no that ain't holy
[Am]         [Em]
There ain't outlaws in Heaven"
