[Verse 1]
[F]You sit
there in your [G]heartache[Am]
[C]Waiting on some [F]beautiful boy to
To save you from your [G]old [Am]ways
[C]You pray forgiveness,
watch [F]it now, here he comes
He doesn't look a thing like [G]Jesus
[Am]But he t[C]alks like a gentleman
[F]Like you imagine when you're
[G]young[Am][C][F]
Can we climb this mountain?
[G]I don't kno[Am]w I a[C]m nothing ever[F] before
I know we can make it if we [G]take it [Am]slow
[C]Let's take it easy, easy [F]now,
watch it go
We're burning down the
highway [G]skyline[Am]
On the [C]back of a hurricane
[F]Let's start a journey when
you are [G]gone[Am][C][F]
When [G]you [Em]are g[Am]one[C][F]
And sometimes you close your [G]eyes
and [Am]see the [C]place where you used to [F]live when you were
[G]young[Am][C][Em][F][G][Am][C][F]

They say the [Dm]dev il's water,
it ain't so sweet
[F]You don't have to drink right [Am]now
[Em]But you can dip [G]your f[Am]eet

[C][Em]
[C]It's [F]there in your hea[G]rtache[Am]
[C]When I'm so beau[F]tiful boy
To save you from your [G]old [Am]ways
[C]You pray forgiveness
watch[F]ing the eagles
[Em]She [G]doesn't look a thing like Jesus,
but
[C]She's a drunken gentleman
[Am]Like you imagine when you're
[F]When you[G]'re[Am]
[C]Drunk like a gentle[Em]man
[F]Like you imagine when you
When [G]you're [Am]I sa[C]id s[F]he doesn't
look a thing like [G]Je [Am]sus, but
[C]Drunk like a gentleman
[F]Like you imagine you
I shouldn't have chosen
to look at things like [G]Je [Am]sus[C][F]
Oh, didn't [Em]you already
[F]know?[Am][Dm]
