[Intro 1]
[G]
[G][G][Am][G][C][C]
[D][D][G][G]
[G][G][Am][G][C][C]
[D][D][G][G]

[Verse 1]
And if you [G]take my heart
Don't [C]leave the smallest part
I've no [D]need to live if you're
to come up [G]gone
And as my life turns to a song
And if and [C]when I treat you wrong
No I [D]ne ver want to hurt our fami[G]ly

[Solo 1]
[G][G][Am][G][C][C]
[D][D][G][G]

[Verse 2]
And I would [G]give up everything
No this is [C]not just about me
And I don't [D]know a plainer way
to say it [G]Babe
And they will pay us all in fame
Though that is [C]not why we came
And I know [D]well and good
that won't heal our [G]hearts

[Chorus 1]
We came for [C]salvation
We came for [G]fa mily
We came for [D]all that's good
that's [C]how we'll walk a[G]way
We came to [C]break the bad
We came to [G]cheer the sad
We came to [D]leave behind the [C]world
a better [G]way

[Verse 3]
Now if I'm [G]walkin' through the rain
And I [C]hear you call my name
I will [D]break into a run without a [G]pause
And if your love laughs at your dreams
Well it's not [C]as bad as it seems
Either [D]way one of them has got to [G]go
And if you take of my soul
You can [C]still leave it whole
With the [D]pieces of your own
you leave be[G]hind

[Chorus 2]
We came for [C]salvation
We came for [G]fa mily
We came for [D]all that's good
that's [C]how we'll walk a[G]way
We came to [C]break the bad
We came to [G]cheer the sad
We came to [D]leave behind the [C]world
a better [G]way

[Verse 4]
And I would [G]give up everything
And if you [C]were to come up clean
And see you [D]shine so bright
in a world of [G]woe
And they may pay us all in fame
Though that is [C]not why we came
And if it [D]compromises truth
then we will [G]go

[Chorus 3]
We came for [C]salvation
We came for [G]fa mily
We came for [D]all that's good
that's [C]how we'll walk a[G]way
We came to [C]break the bad
We came to [G]cheer the sad
We came to [D]leave behind the [C]world
a better [G]way
