[C#m]
[D#] [E]
[F#] [G#] [B]
[E]
[F#] [B]
[E] [Em] You sit there in [G#m] your [B] heartache
Waiting on [E] some beautiful boy dude
To save you [F#] from your [G#] old [B] ways
You play forgiveness, [E] watch it now
Here he comes, he doesn't look a [F#] thing like [G#m] Jesus
[B] But he talks like a gentleman
[C#m] Like you imagined [E] when you [F#] were young
[B] Can [E] [B]
we climb this [F#] mountain?
I [G#] don't know
[B] Now [E] than ever before
[A] I know we can make it [F#] if we take [G#] it slow
[B] That's taking easy, [E] easy now
Watch it go, we're burning down the
[F#] [B] Back of a [C#m] hurricane
That started turning [E] when you were [F#] [B] young
[E] When you [F#] were young
[G#m] [B]
[E] And sometimes you close [F#] your eyes
[G#m] And see [B] the place where you [F#] used [C#m] to live
When [E] you [F#] were [E] young
[D#m]
[B] They [E]
[F#]
[G#m] [E]
[D#] [C#m] [B]
[D#] [G#] [F#]
say [C#m] the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You [E] don't have to drink right now
[G#m] But you can dip your feet
[F#] Every once in a little [D#m] while
[F#]
[G]
[E] [B]
[F#] [G#] [B]
[E] [B]
[F#] [G#m] [B]
[E] [B] You sit there [F#] in your [G#] [B] heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy dude
To save you [F#] from your [G#] old [B] ways
You play forgiveness, watch it now
Here he [F#] comes, he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
[B] But he talks like a [G#m] gentleman
Like you [D#m] imagined [E] when you were [F#] [G#m] [C#] young
[B] Talks like a [E] gentleman
What could a little man do when you were [F#] young?
[G#m]
[E] I said he doesn't look a thing [F#] like [G#m] Jesus
He
[E] doesn't look a thing [F#] like [G#m] Jesus
One [E] more than you'll ever [D#] know
[C#] [B] [G#] [F#]
