Sun Bleached Flies

Intro E  A  E  A 
      E  A  D  A 

E                                       A 
Sun bleached flies sitting in the windowsill 
E                        A 
Waiting for the day they escape 
          E                                  A 
They talk all about that money and how their babies are always 

Changing 
E                              D             A 
While they're breathing in the poison of the pain 

E                             A 
What I wouldn't give to be in church this Sunday 
E                                    A 
Listening to the choir, so heartfelt, all singing 
E                             A 
God loves you, but not enough to save you 
E                                       D    A 
So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself 

          B                                A 
So I said fine, 'cause that's how my daddy raised me 
               B                           E       A 
If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard 
           B                        A 
But in the end, if I bend under the weight that they gave me 
          E                             B        A 
Then this heart would break and fall as twice as far 

( B  A  E  A  E ) 

                   A 
We all know how it goes 
E                             A 
The more it hurts, the less it shows 
E                              A 
But I still feel like they all know 
E                                  A 
And that's why I can never go back home 
E              A    E                              A 
And I spend my life watching it go by from the sidelines 
E             A            E                       D        A 
And God, I've tried, but I think it's about time I put up a fight 

B                                           A 
But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me (how my daddy raised me) 
               B                                   A 
If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard 
             B                               A 
But I always knew that in the end no one was coming to save me 
          A                 A           Am          E 
So I just prayed and I keep praying and praying and praying 

E                                A 
If it's meant to be then it will be 
     B                            A 
So I met him there and told him I believe 
        E                              A 
Singing if it's meant to be then it'll be 
                       B             A 
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (back to me) 

E                                A 
If it's meant to be then it will be 
B                                   A 
So I met him there and told him I believe (I believe, yeah) 
        E                                A 
Singing if it's meant to be then it will be (oh, oh) 
                       B             A 
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (it comes back to me) 

E                              A 
If it's meant to be then it'll be (it'll be, it'll be, it'll be) 
     B                            A 
So I met him there and told him I believe (yeah) 
        E                                A 
Singing if it's meant to be then it will be 
                       B             A 
I forgive it all as it comes back to me (oh) 

E                                   A 
I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska 
E                                  A 
By the highway, out on the edge of town 
E 
Dancing with the windows open 
A 
I can't let go when something's broken 
                    B                    
It's all I know and it's all I want now
