Introduction:
Em G
Raise me straight and raise me true
Am C
Spent my days becoming you
Em G
Sunday morning, evening too
Am C
Sitting in your second pew
Em G
Torn apart, my spirits spent
Am C
I fell in love on accident
Em G
Wondered just what Jesus meant
Am C
When he said all love was Heaven sent
Em G
Papa I don't need a preacher
Am
I ain't some kind of creature
C
From some old double feature
Em G
I just want to make you proud
Am
Of the kind of love I've found
C
But you say it's not allowed
Am
Say that its a sin
C
It's how I've always been
D
Did you love me when he was just my friend?
Em G
Tried my hardest not to be
Am C
But I locked the door and I broke the key
Em G
Jesus died upon that tree
Am C
Daddy do you think he'd covet me
Em G
Red and yellow black and white
Am C
We are precious in his sight
Em G
So why can't I sleep through the night?
Am C
Daddy do you think I turned out right
Em G
Papa I don't need a preacher
Am
I ain't some kind of creature
C
From some old double feature
Em G
I just want to make you proud
Am
Of the kind of love I've found
C
But you say it aint allowed
Am
Say that it's a sin
C
It's how I've always been
D
Did you love me when he was just my friend?
Am C
Mmm mmm
Em G Am C
oooo oooo oooo ooo
Em G
Papa you're the one that taught me
Am
By his strap he sought me
C
And with his blood he bought me
Em G
Daddy you're the one that claimed
Am
That he loved me through the flame
C
Now why can't you do the same
Am
Now I've been born again
C
But first I was born in sin
D
Did you love me then?
