Verse 1
G 
And if you take my heart
C 
Don't leave the smallest part
D 
I've no need to live if you're
G 
to come up gone
And as my life turns to a song
C 
And if and when I treat you wrong
D 
G 
No I never want to hurt our family

Verse 2
G 
And I would give up everything
C 
No this is not just about me
D 
And I don't know a plainer way
G 
to say it Babe
And they will pay us all in fame
C 
Though that is not why we came
D 
And I know well and good
G 
that won't heal our hearts

Chorus 1
C 
We came for salvation
G 
We came for family

G 
We came to cheer the sad
D 
C 
We came to leave behind the world
G 
a better way

Verse 3
G 
Now if I'm walkin' through the rain
C 
And I hear you call my name
D 
G 
I will break into a run without a pause
And if your love laughs at your dreams
C 
Well it's not as bad as it seems
D 
G 
Either way one of them has got to go
And if you take of my soul
C 
You can still leave it whole
D 
With the pieces of your own
G 
you leave behind

Verse 4
G 
And I would give up everything
C 
And if you were to come up clean
D 
And see you shine so bright
G 
in a world of woe
And they may pay us all in fame
C 
Though that is not why we came
D 
And if it compromises truth
G 
then we will go

Chorus 3
