Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
the Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door
Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
while the Capuchins held a love-in on my front porch
Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
the Augustinians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row
Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
they said, "devil boy, it's off to Hell you go!"

Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
and so I'll sit and pray for her to call me there
Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
and I'll burn that bridge a 1000 times, on the cross I bear
Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
just to wonder if you're listening from a soap box in the sky
Dadd9/F# Em7 Dadd9/F# Em7
to finally realize my price, was it you or I?

I'd give away eternity
G D5/A
If you would come back to me
G D5/A
If you would come back to me
G D5/A
If you would come back to me
G D5/A
If you would come back to me
