G                    C                 D
So your bags are all packed and you're leaving
        G          C          D
Without so much as telling me why
       G       C            D
Pardon me if I skip all the grieving
    G          C          D
And simply get on with my life
         C                        D
'cause I know that they'll come a day
           G                      D
It'll come back on you and you'll pay


Chorus:
                C                D
But it won't be me you'll answer to
                  G                           C
When the judgment arrives and your penance is due
                G             Em                G
Forgiveness may come for the things that you've done
         C  G    D       C           G
For your dishonesty, but it won't be me


        G            C            D
Well it goes against my christian raising
      G           C          D
To be feeling the way that I am
         G         C               D
I should get on my knees and start praying
         G                   C           D
For your absolution but I've tried and I can't
           C                    D
After what you did to me and to us
       C                           D
You've betrayed all my love and my trust


Chorus:
                C                D
But it won't be me you'll answer to
                  G                           C
When the judgment arrives and your penance is due
                G             Em                G
Forgiveness may come for the things that you've done
         C  G    D       C           G
For your dishonesty, but it won't be me


         C                   D
Now this isn't a threat or a curse
     C                          D
Just remember you heard it here first


Chorus:
                C                D
But it won't be me you'll answer to
                  G                           C
When the judgment arrives and your penance is due
                G             Em                G
Forgiveness may come for the things that you've done
         C  G    D       C           G
For your dishonesty, but it won't be me
