Intro: Am 

      Am          C         G        Am 
When pain didn't reign and love was king 
          Am      F / C     G        Am 
We could wash our hands of most anything 
    Am   C      G      Am 
I inherited my fathers sin 
       Am      F / C          G       Am 
I was born and raised in the midst of it 
           Am       C          G        Am 
Before a preacher spoke those words in vain 
    Am  F / C       G         Am 
And holy men would bow their head 
Am   F / C   G    Am 
For I was a man I am 
    Am     C     G    Am 
The older son of Abraham 

           F    G          C 
The day I drowned in fire and storm 
       F   G                Am 
I found out, what I'd always known 
           F    G        D 
I still remember, I still see 
   C           F           G         Am 
A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness 
      Am          C         G        Am 
When pain didn't reign and love was king 

    Am          C         G      Am 
My daddy was a gambler, drinking man 
  Am       F / C          G          Am 
Showed his love with the back of his hand 
      Am      F / C          G         Am 
Never saw him smile, not a flicker of graze 
           Am               C          G        Am 
I think he buried him with momma in a Tennesse clay 

           F    G          C 
The day I drowned in fire and storm 
       F   G                Am 
I found out, what I'd always known 
           F    G        D 
I still remember, I still see 
   C           F           G         Am 
A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness 
      Am          C         G        Am 
When pain didn't reign and love was king 

           F    G          C 
The day I drowned in fire and storm 
       F   G                Am 
I found out, what I'd always known 
           F    G        D 
I still remember, I still see 
   C           F           G         Am 
A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness 
      Am          C         G        Am 
When pain didn't reign and love was king 
   C           F           G         Am 
A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness 
           Am          C         G        Am 
Back when pain didn't reign and love was king
