[Verse 1]
C G
I grew up scared of my father..
F
His words were known to draw blood
C G
I know that nobody's perfect..
F
But I never questioned his love
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
When he cursed the television
G C
And that god damn rainbow parade
G Am
I wrapped my wounds in religion
G Am
That night I learned how to pray
[Chorus]
C Am
If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree?.....
G C
Why plant the tree?
C Am
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep.....
G C
Let it be me
C G
Let it be me, Lord....
F
Let it be me
C G
Let it be me, Lord....
F
Let it be me
[Verse 2]
C G
I'm learning to love the progress..
F
Get more faith with every inch
C G F
You're making peace with the thought of growing out of more than your skin
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
What was once out of the question
C C
now gets met a quarter way
G Am
It might not be a rainbow
G Am
but at least it's more than grey
[Chorus]
C Am
If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree?.....
G C
Why plant the tree?
C Am
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep.....
G C
Let it be me
C G
Let it be me, Lord....
F
Let it be me
C G
Let it be me, Lord....
F
Let it be me
[Bridge]
G Am
Let it be me that you treat like a daughter
G C
Let it be me when you give me away
G Am
Let it be you who's proud of me sort of
G C
'Cause blood is blood at the end of the day
[Chorus]
C Am
If you poisoned the apple why plant the tree?.....
G C
Why plant the tree?
C Am
If there's one in the city you're willing to keep.....
G C
Let it be me
C G
Let it be me, Lord....
F
Let it be me
C G
Let it be me, Lord....
F
Let it be me
