[Intro]

G    Am  
Em    G
 
[Verse]

           Am               Em
When I was young, my mother told me
                 C    
"Don't play with guns, 
                G
that s*it 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    
Ain't nothing but outlaws 
       Em              C
in the real world"  
G               Am         
So I got a gun, thought the 
                     Em
Lord would hold me
                     C      
And I don't feel bad, hell, 
                     G
I don't feel holy 
                   
Guess I'll have to 
 Am            Em   C
find out on my own
 
 
[Interlude]

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

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

you can burn me

[Verse]

G            Am     
When I was young, 
               Em7
my mother told me
                  C   
"You don't go to God, 
                  C
you'll end up lonely
       Am              Em7   
We are nothing without faith" 
                 C
(Nothing without faith)
G                 Am7   
Said, "How 'bout dad? 
                 Em7
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                 
 And I don't know if 
  C                           G
I was made from God's hands
              D/F#                Em
But I know my father is a good man
              C   
I'm realizing now 
                       G
how the world bleeds
                    D/F#     
So, if you're gonna burn him, 
                  Em
you can burn me 
                      C                     G
I'm sick and tired of staring at the sunrise
                         
Just waiting for a truth 
D/F#                       Em
I know just won't arrive
                         C   
So don't you go and tell me 
                  G
how it should be
                           D/F#  
Hell, if you're gonna burn him,  
                 Em7 C G G/B Em7 C G
you can burn me
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
                      D/F#
Hell, if you're gonna burn him, 

you can burn me
