[Verse 1]
Fmaj7                    C
  You ran away with your conscience clear
           Fmaj7            C
There was a red flag waving in my ear saying
Fmaj7                   C
  Stay away, you've got something to fear
    G              Fmaj7
Well why did I not choose to hear?

Fmaj7                    C
  Well I am through with suffering
      Fmaj7                       C
Gonna make better choices I don't need no wedding ring
      Fmaj7                         C
I can sing, I can dance but I can't make this feeling cease
      G                          Fmaj7
Cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and

[Chorus]
Am          Fmaj7  C         G
  We all got our cross to bear
    Am        Fmaj7     C             G
Our Star of David, our dreadlocked hair
    Am        Fmaj7   C       G
And oh yeah baby,    I still care
           Fmaj7                        C               Fmaj7  C
And if you need some help you know I'll always be there

[Verse 2]
                Fmaj7                       C
Well it's been a strange year you've been a very bad dog
      Fmaj7                   C
As my fire went out you'd put on another log
   Fmaj7              C
But it was worth never having any peace
    G                          Fmaj7
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and

[Chorus]
Am          Fmaj7  C         G
  We all got our cross to bear
    Am        Fmaj7     C             G
Our Star of David, our dreadlocked hair
    Am        Fmaj7   C       G
And oh yeah baby,    I still care
           Fmaj7                        C                    Fmaj7  C
And if you need some help you know I'll always still be there

[Bridge]
Gm   F                     C
Some nights I thought I'd cry forever
    Gm         F                 C
I'd wish him away and then I'd turn into a beggar
Dm             F            C
  But it was worth always scraping my knees
    Bb                        C                 Fmaj7   C   Fmaj7   C
And deep in my soul you left a permanent crease

[Verse 3]
           Fmaj7                 C
You know, I wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve
                 Fmaj7               C
And I've got this aching love that only you can relieve
        Fmaj7                 C
But I'm, I'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend
         G                                Fmaj7
I'm gonna live out my dreams even if they kill me in the end

[Chorus]
Am          Fmaj7  C         G
  We all got our cross to bear
    Am        Fmaj7     C             G
Our Star of David, our dreadlocked hair
     Am      Fmaj7   C        G
And oh yeah baby,   I still care
     Am      Fmaj7 C     G
And I still lo-----ve you
