Lori McKenna - Not in this life

It's ^Gcold for early June, but the sun is rising fast There's a ^Amdew up on the quiet hill where he lays in the grass ^FStaring up at heaven's gates to see if he can see in Jesus' ^Geyes

^GThe woman that he thinks of is still lying fast asleep As he ^Amasks for resolution and prays his soul to keep A ^Fman of god in love, can't touch a man of god, temptation, sun^Grise

But it doesn't mean I don't ^Dlove you, it doesn't mean I don't ^Gcare It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dlove to run my fingers through your ^Ghair It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dmake sweet love to you so ^Gright It ^Fjust means, ^Cnot in this ^Glife

^GThis has always been the path for him since the age of nine or ten And if ^Amonly he remembered now the things he knew back then It ^Fseemed god had a plan for him, a clear and decisive ^Grole

^GBut he never would have seen her if she hadn't come to pray If she ^Amdidn't need forgiveness, he'd be a holy man today If she ^Fwasn't so damn beautiful, if her eyes didn't bleed into his ^Gsoul

But it doesn't mean I don't ^Dlove you, it doesn't mean I don't ^Gcare It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dlove to run my fingers through your ^Ghair It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dmake sweet love to you so ^Gright It ^Fjust means, ^Cnot in this ^Glife

^FDear god, I am ^Csorry for my ^Gsins Dear ^Fgod, I am sorry for the ^Csituation I'm ^Gin

^GHe'll analyse the burning, the tremble in his chest ^AmFalls behind on duties and he's sleeping less and less He doesn't ^Fpay attention in church, he doesn't answer to his name when people ^Gcall

^GHe's got himself this apple and it's looking so damn good But ^Amjust because he can bite it, it doesn't mean he should He ^Flets her know his feelings, Eden is burning and he doesn't ^Gcare at all

But it doesn't mean I don't ^Dlove you, it doesn't mean I don't ^Gcare It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dlove to run my fingers through your ^Ghair It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dmake sweet love to you so ^Gright It ^Fjust means, ^Cnot in this ^Glife

^GI'm sorry for my sins ^GI'm sorry for my sins ^GI'm sorry for my sins ^GI'm sorry for my sins ^GI'm sorry for my sins ^GI'm sorry for my sins ^GWell, I am sorry for my sins, yeah ^GI am sorry for my sins

But it doesn't mean I don't ^Dlove you, it doesn't mean I don't ^Gcare It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dlove to run my fingers through your ^Ghair It doesn't mean I wouldn't ^Dmake sweet love to you so ^Gright It ^Fjust means, ^Cnot in this ^FJust means, ^Cnot in this It ^Fjust means, ^Cnot in this ^Glife
