Key : Db
[Verse 1]
Db
Oh, Lord
Fm
Please don't take him from me
Eb Db
I need him, you know I do
Db Fm
I try to stop him from using that shit
Eb Db
But there's no telling that man what to do
[Chorus]
Db
But you'll have to pry
Fm
Him from my cold dead grip
Eb
If you try taking him from me
Db
Oh, Lord
Db
And you know I
Fm
Refuse to understand
Eb
That he just makes his own bed
Db
And there's no use trying
[Verse 2]
Db
Oh, Lord
Fm
Please don't give him those wings
Eb Db
You know how reckless he can be sometimes
Db
And I swear
Fm
He doesn't mean it when he says
Eb Db
He don't care if he lives or dies
[Chorus 2]
Db
And I'm not sure
Fm
If you can hear this, but I rеad
Eb Db
Your name across his chest and I thought I'd try
Db
So if you're thеre
Fm
Lord, I am begging you to spare him
Eb Db
Just spare him, to you, I cry
[Outro]
Db
Or you'll have to pry
Fm
Him from my cold dead grip
Eb Db
'Cause I'm not letting go of him
