1.    You dipped your toe into the water

                                              G

    but you never thought an ordinary life

               Em

    could cut you like a knife.

Bm                                         A

    You’re everything I ever wanted

                                             G

    but a man would rather writhe upon a cross

             Em

    than ever feel the loss.

 

D                         Em                Bm

    Please, don’t worry, I’m not sorry

               G                    Bm

not for a life that I can’t own.

                  Em                                G

I’ll seek forgiveness, will I need a witness

            A                  Bm

or the girl that I call home.

 

   Bm                                            A

2.    You get to walk among the flowers,

                                         G

    I’m a man who tries to hide away his scars

          Em

    Beyond the sea of stars

Bm                                           A

    You seem to find a higher power.

                                            G

    and when part of me is darker than the night,

          Em

    you fill the void with light.

 

D                         Em                Bm

    Please, don’t worry, I’m not sorry

               G                    Bm

not for a life that I can’t own.

                Em                                 G

Princes adore you, they cower before you,

                  A                  Bm

you’re the girl that I call home.
