If I ever have a friend who knows my hell
A#
He'll tie a savior rope to the backyard well

So if I change my mind when I get down
Cm Gm
I'll pull my body up before I drown
[Verse]
Cm
And if I ever have a lover who finds my pain
A#
I will leave his ass in the fire and the rain
Fmadd9
Because a man who knows, and still he stays
Cm Gm
That ain't no man who you'd want around
[Instrumental]
Fmadd9 Gm Cm Gmadd11
[Verse]

If I ever have a child, and in her eyes
A#
I see the same kind of hurt that I had in mine

I'll know the devil ain't come once
Cm Gm
No, he came twice
