Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Godspeed, little [G]sinner
Dragged me to church to eat Jesus [C]Christ
I can be a little pessimistic
I can be a little critical some[G]times
Can't sleep, so you whisper
Now I see through [C]all [G]those [C]little lies
But I didn't know better
But now I get it

[Verse 2]
[C]I'm sorry that I made you [Am]cry those
[G]times the [D]cops came [Em]by
Mama [C]tried, Mama tried

[Verse 3]
[G]
They fuck you up,
your parents [Am]do[Bm]
They [C]may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to,
[Em]but they d[D]o [G]so
They fuck you up,
your parents [Am]do[Bm]
They [C]may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to, [Em]but [D]they do

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Didn't raise no [G]quitter
I'm still hooked and I think it'll kill me too
[C]Caught myself in the mirror
And for a second,
I could swear that it was you
[G]You saw me miss a sitter
Didn't miss one game the entire time
[C]Didn't care about the winner
Doesn't matter,
as long as you've got your [Am]pride

[Verse 5]
And [G]though we'd fight,
[D]I kno[Em]w they were rig[C]ht

[Verse 6]
They were right
[G]
They fuck you up,
your parents [Am]do[Bm]
They [C]may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to,
[Em]but they d[D]o [G]so
They fuck you up,
your parents [Am]do[Bm]
Do [C]as I say, not as I do
When I was your age, [Em]I was jus[D]t like you[Am]

[Verse 7]
So did they love too [G]much?
[C]Or was it not enough?
[Am]You know they're not to blam[Bm]e
[D]Because we're all fucked up

[Verse 8]
[G]Those kids will be the death
of [Am]you[Bm]
They [C]were so sweet but then they grew
And now they're fucked up just [G]like you,

[Interlude 2]

[G][Am][G][C][Em][D]
[G][Am][C][Em][G]

[Verse 9]
They fuck you [G]up, your parents do (fuck you [Am]up ,
[Bm]fuck you up)
They [C]may not mean to, but they do
They may not mean to,
[Em]but they d[D]o [G]so
