(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(Em) / / / |(Bm) / (A)

(Verse 1)
Your (D)blood is my  blood and poison runs deep
(Em)Knowing you're mine scares the (Bm)hell outta (A)me
'Cause (D)hurt is a sickness and trauma is too
And (Em)I�fd rather die than to (Bm)pass it to (A)you

(Chorus)
'Cause that's (D)my cross to carry, (Bm)my scars to (D)heal
(Em)My pain to bury, (Bm)not yours to (A)feel
I (D)pray every day I can (Bm)love you e-(D)nough
So (Em)my cross to carry (Bm) won't be (A)yours to pick (D)up

(Instrumental)
 / / / (D) / / / (Em) / / / |(Bm) / (A) /

(Verse 2)
(D)I hope to God you don't get my addictions
Don't (Em)deal with my demons or (Bm)make my de-(A)cisions
Yeah, (D)I hope the apple falls far from the tree
And the (Em)sins of the father stop (Bm)right here with (A)me

(Chorus)
'Cause that's (D)my cross to carry, my scars to heal
(Em)My pain to bury, (Bm)not yours to (A)feel
I (D)pray every day I can love you enough
So (Em)my cross to carry (Bm) won't be (A)yours to pick (G)up

(Bridge)
(F#m) Won't be yours to pass (Em)down
(Bm) And wh„un (A)you make mis-(G)takes on your own
I (D/F#)hope that you know
You'll (Em)n„uver go through it a-(A)lone - - -

(Chorus)
That's (D)my cross to carry, my scars to heal
(Em)My pain to bury, (Bm)not yours to (A)feel
I (D)pray every day I can love you enough
So (Em)my cross to carry (Bm) won't be (A)yours to pick (D)up

(Outro.)
(Bm) Won't be (D)yours to pick (Em)up
(Bm) Won't be (A)yours to pick (D)up - - - - -
