^BmSo you never knew^A love Un^Emtil you crossed the ^Gline of grace. ^BmAnd you never felt^A wanted ^EmTill you'd someone ^Gslap your face. ^BmSo you never felt ^Aalive Un^Emtil you'd almost ^Gwasted away.

You ^Bmhad to win, you ^Acouldn't just pass The ^Emsmartest ass at the ^Gtop of the class Your^Bm flying colours, your ^Afamily tree And ^Emall your lessons in ^Ghistory.

^BmPlease, ^Aplease, ^Emplease Get ^Gup off your knees. ^BmPlease, ^Aplease, ^Emplease, ^Gplease, oh yeah

^BmSo you never ^Aknew how ^Emlow you'd stoop To ^Gmake that call ^BmAnd you never ^Aknew what was ^Emon the ground Till they ^Gmade you crawl. ^BmSo you never ^Aknew that the ^Emheaven You keep^G you stole.

^BmYour Catholic blues, your ^Aconvent shoes, Your ^Emstick-on tattoos now they're ^Gmaking the news Your^Bm holy war, your ^Anorthern star Your ^Emsermon on the mount from the ^Gboot of your car.

^BmPlease, ^Aplease, ^Emplease Get ^Gup off your knees ^BmPlease, ^Aplease, ^Emplease Leave me ^Gout of this, please.
