Intro:
   Abm
   E Abm

Verse 1:
A                  Dbm
Both our eyes are red
                             E
But you're high and I'm crying
                    Abm
You're trying to forget
                      A
But it hits me every time
                Dbm
You pray next to me
                             E
Right hand holds your left sleeve
                     Abm
Turning our heads gently
                          A
'Cause when it ends we fight

Pre-chorus:
A
And in that warm winter, I withered
Dbm                   Abm
I just want to get better
                  A
I'll be what you like
                     Dbm
And every letter of fire
                      Abm
You read me when I'm tired
                   A
Makes me want to cry

Chorus:
A
Whose Lord are you naming
Dbm                         Abm
When you start to break things?
              A
It's my only life you hold
A
And when you left me waiting
Dbm
I thought
        Abm                   A    Gbm
Did you do it in the name of God?
        Dbm                   A    E
Did you do it in the name of God?

Verse 2:
B                    Dbm
I wake up in the evening
                         E
When the day's already done
                            Abm
And I walk to the nearest store
                A
Just to see someone
               Dbm
Everything is black
                    E
Your hands and my past
                     Abm
If I don't wake tomorrow
                     A
Promise me you'll laugh

Pre-chorus:
A
And in that warm winter, I withered
Dbm                   Abm
I just want to get better
                   A
I'll be what you like
                     Dbm
And every letter of fire
                      Abm
You read me when I'm tired
                      A
It's replaying as a choir

Chorus:
A
Whose Lord are you naming
Dbm                        Abm
When you start to break things?
              A
It's my only life you hold
A
And when you left me waiting
Dbm
I thought
        Abm                   A   Gbm
Did you do it in the name of God?
        Dbm                   A    E
Did you do it in the name of God?
       B       Gbm    Dbm
In the name of God
                A
In the name of God
