Intro: C  D  G  (x2) 

       G 
If you take my heart 
      C                     
Don't leave the smallest part 
        D               C                 G 
I've no need to live if you're to come up gone 
         G  
An as my life turns to a song 
          C      
And if and when I treat you wrong 
     D             C        G 
No I never want to hurt our family 
           G 
And I would give up everything 
           C 
No this is not just about me 
            D              C             G 
And I don't know a plainer way to say it Babe 
             G  
And they may pay us off in fame 
               C 
Though that is not why we came 
      D              C                       G 
And I know well and good that won't heal our hearts 

            C 
We came for salvation 
             G 
We came for family 
            D                      C              G 
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away 
           C 
We came to break the bad 
           G 
We came to cheer the sad 
           D                C              G 
We came to leave behind the world a better way 

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

            C 
We came for salvation 
            G 
We came for family 
            D          C                          G 
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away 
           C 
We came to break the bad 
           G 
We came to cheer the sad 
           D                C              G 
We came to leave behind the world a better way 

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

            C 
We came for salvation 
            G 
We came for family 
            D          C                          G 
We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away 
           C 
We came to break the bad 
           G 
We came to cheer the sad 
           D                C              G 
We came to leave behind the world a better way
