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 

verse 2 
Bm                                  G 
 Divine light compelled us   last night when we were kids 
      Em                              G 
But adults in the morning     lost light is all there is 
Bm                                    G 
   I cuckolded my brother coz I was bored and coz I could 
Em                                           G 
   I fell asleep in our lover's arms   and woke up in the woods 


         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
