Am
I saw you in church on Sunday
I was walking by on my way to Monday
Dm
Cracked lips and the sight will kill
Something tune life that you just can’t heal
Am
Try too feel but it hurts too much
Do you like it, when life gets rough?
Dm
You always washing your hands and knees
Don’t you know you can’t get clean?

F
I didn’t know, didn’t know
C
What I was running to
Dm
Didn’t know, didn’t know
Am
What I was running to
F
I didn’t know, didn’t know
C
What I was running to
Dm
Didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know what I was running to

Chorus:
Am       C
Oh girl don’t stop now
Dm                               G
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Am       C
Oh girl don’t stop now
Dm                        G
Only way to heaven is a broken vow

Are you speaking in tongues
Yeah, I’ll take sin
Your abstinence
Is such a loaded gun
Your stained glass and a holy ghost
I shall not take what I want the most

I didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
I didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know, didn’t know
What I was running to
Didn’t know what I was running to

Chorus

Dm                             Am
Only way to heaven is a broken vow

Bm          A           D      E
Hide me in mirrors I’m happy when
Bm     A             D       E
all I have to do is just pretend
Bm        A            D           E
Then I’m feeling like time moves slow
Bm     A                D         C
And I lay and let the fruit hang low
 G
Low, low, low, let the fruit hang low

Chorus:
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
Oh girl don’t stop now
Walking through the city like a holy cow
Oh girl don’t stop now
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
The only way to heaven is a broken vow
