Hold in my breath-not taking a step

The good church has closed its doors on me

I drink my dinner in the shade
[Pre-Chorus]

Days & days go by
Children laughin'

Still I don't smile at all

Mary's calling to me
Em
“Can't you see what I see”

She would never let me down

I spend a lot of time way down there

It's been a long time at the bottom

I don't know how I made it here
[Verse 2]
G
Been livin' a lie-my kisses are dry
Cm
I got No where else left to run

My love is blind deaf and dumb

Heaven can't wait-to lock up the gate

I had my chance but got it wrong
