Front Porch Step - Stones Chords

[Verse]
Em     D                       G
I know that i’ve made mistakes,
Em      D                       G
and i’m aware I’ve told some lies.
Em             D                 G
I’m sorry that i broke your heart.
Em                D                    G
You’ll be glad to know that i broke mine.
Em           D                     G
Well i lost two good friends this year,
Em      D              G
and i buried both my dogs,
Em         D                   G              Em
So if you think that I’ve been hiding out of fear,
C              D               G
then you just don’t know me at all

[Chorus]
C                      G
You can hate me if you want to.
C                                      G
That’s if you think you’ve got a right.
C                               G             Em
Just make sure that you’re not jumping to conclusions
C              D                 G
before you go to draw your knife.

[Verse]
Em       D                  G
I never meant to hurt a soul,
Em             D                  G
but just keep saying what you will.
Em      D                G               Em
I just tried to use the earth to fill a hole,
C               D                 G
i’ve found that God can only fill.
Em           D                     G
I learned a lot of things this year
Em              D                        G
But theres one thing that helped the most.
Em        D          G                      Em
It’s okay to burn a bridge down to the ground,
C                 D                    G
right where you should’ve built a moat.

[Chorus]
C                      G
You can hate me if you want to.
C                                      G
That’s if you think you’ve got a right.
C                               G             Em
Just make sure that you’re not jumping to conclusions
C              D                 G
before you go to draw your knife.
C              D                 G
before you go to draw your knife.
C              D                 G
before you go to draw your knife.

[Bridge]
      Em                 C           G                 D
I can feel the pressure coming over me like setting sails.
       Em             C
Tried to come to my senses,
         G                     D
but sometimes they tend to fail.
        Em                 C
And i tried to come out swinging
        G                   D
but i couldn’t hold back tears.
         Em            C
It’s no wonder that a can of soup
       G                     D
can’t get me through this year.
     Em           C                 G              D
and I’ve taken advantage of the debt that Jesus paid
          Em                 C
and i’m scared my heart has damage
          G                  D
from the wars that i have waged
         Em                C                 G             Em*
and its true before, i’ve been a whore like Mary Magdalene,
     C                     D
And I’ve felt stones that crack my bones,
          G                        Em
i’m just glad that God stepped in.
C    D                       G
I’m glad that God stepped in.

[Tag]
Em               D                 G
Well, there’s a Father that forgives,
Em             D                     G
and there’s a God that knows the truth.
Em           D                        G
So i’m not scared to face his Judgment.
Em             D                  G
i’m just scared that you will too.
Em          D                    G
So you can go burn all my records,
Em          D                 G
and put me six feet in the ground.
Em              D                  G             Em
Theres still a flame that burns forever in my heart
C             D               G
Your hatred just cannot put out.
C             D               G
Your hatred just cannot put out.
