about

Written after giving up trying to learn 'I Had Me A Girl' by The Civil Wars in standard tuning. Basically an argument.

lyrics

girl, you can't hide it forever
there's a darkness about you
that you think I can't see
I know we both danced with the devil
but you still keep him close
where a lover should be

oh boy, that's not how it happened
you took us to hell
but the Lord pulled me through
so if you see a darknesss
it's just a reflection
of the darkness in you

no, don't give me your darkness
don't give me your darkness
don't pin it on me
no, don't give me your darkness
I don't need your darkness
eating on me

girl, so we danced with the devil
but I couldn't get closer
'cos I wasn't you
Oh boy, I clearly remember
you took us to hell
but the lord pulled me through

Lord save us
Lord save us
from ourselves
Lord save us
Lord save us
From ourselves

no, don't give me your darkness
don't give me your darkness
don't pin it on me
no, don't give me your darkness
I don't need your darkness
eating on me
no, don't give me your darkness
don't give me your darkness
don't pin it on me
no, don't give me your darkness
I don't need your darkness
eating on me

Lord save us
Lord save us
From ourselves
