verse 1
Bm G
My blood is moving sacred as it spreads
Em G
One man's temptation is another's daily bread
Bm G
Overlook a little sin or focus on the flaws
Em G
The law is for the body not the body for the law
Bm G
In a minute I'll be swimming in what used to come for free
Em G
But now might fetch an ounce of flesh when it occurs to me
Bm G
I could deny myself I could deny myself
Em Bm
I could deny myself
Bm G Em
But why would I deny myself why would I deny myself
Bm A
Why would I deny myself

But adults in the morning lost light is all there is

I cuckolded my brother coz I was bored and coz I could

I fell asleep in our lover's arms and woke up in the woods
Bm G
I could deny myself I could deny myself

I could deny myself
Bm G Em
But why would I deny myself why would I deny myself

Why would I deny myself
