verse 1 
   Dm                          Am 
My blood is thick but it still runs 
G                               Dm 
Every time I was taught to bite my tongue 
    Dm                              Am 
It's been years and the letters they still come 
G             Dm 
Still come 
 
   F                        C 
So hang, hang me up on your cross 
        Em                       F 
For the record, I only wanted to sing songs 
 F                        C 
Hang me out to die in the sun 
   Em                             F 
For the record, I only wanted to sing songs 
F      F

Raise me up when I was number one 
        G                            Dm 
Make a story of, of a story that was spun 
Dm                            Am 
Strong enough to carry both my sons 
   G                      Dm 
My blood is thick but it still runs
