[Intro]
Em G
Em G [Verse]
Em G We were running through the red lights Em In a hurry to get to nowhere G In a white Beretta Em G We'll go to Memphis in the morning To get it over with and
Em
in a couple days G You'll feel a lot better [Pre-Chorus]
Em G I was raised in the church I was washed in the blood and
Em
we all were saved G Before we even left home Em If his love is unconditional G Why do I feel so miserable? Em Why are you digging your
G
nails in the Styrofoam? [Chorus]
D It was so many years ago Am Oh, and I just didn't know Em D But that ain't no excuse D For bеing who you are Am Em I thank you, and I'm sorry D For what you went through [Verse]
Em I was sitting at a red light G Listеning to Son Volt Em G May the wind take your troubles away Em Could have been somebody's father G Couldn't boil a pot of water Em I was nineteen years old in
G
nineteen ninety eight [Pre-Chorus]
Em G Raised in the church Washed in the blood and
Em
we all were saved G Before we even left home Em I thank God you weren't
brought up like me G With all that shame and certainty Em And I'm sorry you had to go in
G
that room alone [Chorus]
D It was so many years ago Am Oh, and I just didn't know Em D But that ain't no excuse D For bеing who you are Am Em I thank you, and I'm sorry D For what I put you through [Solo]
Em G
Em G [Chorus]
D It was so many years ago Am Oh, and I just didn't know Em D But that ain't no excuse D Am I thank you for your grace Em For the dreams we got to chase D For what you chose to do [Outro]
Em We were running through
the red lights G Em In a hurry to get to nowhere G In a white Beretta
