[Verse 1] (Am F C G)
Am F
Mama, I sinned again, I went to bed with another man
C G
Know the town won't understand, are you still gon' hold my hand?
Am F
Say mama, I broke the rules, gotta face these holy fools
C G
It felt cool when they heard the news, guess I better give my son the shoes
Am F
Oh mama, what's the use? We all saw what they done to you
C
You felt stares when they heard the truth
G
Say, felt stares when they heard the truth
Am F
Oh mama, we're not alone, don't know what they do at home
C G
But everybody got a bag of bones, hey, oh we all got a bag of bones

Am C G D
Hold your blessings, I'm confessing, yeah

Am F
Somebody say a prayer for me, cause papa didn't preach
C G
And if he did, I'd still be wrong
Am F

C G
Why don't you wanna see? I'm a sinner like you

Am F
Father I testify, don't wanna tell another lie
C G

Say father, I'm not ashamed, I got no one to blame
C G
So I go naming names if all if us are just the same

Am F C Em
Should I go, should I stay? Are they ever gonna change?
