[VERSE 1]
[G#m]It's not what I had planned when I was walking in
I didn't know what [B]I'd [C#m]see
[G#m]Stepping through the door, their clothes were on the floor
Was something like a [B]bad [C#m]dream
[G#m]And then in just a blink, before I could think
I didn't know what [B]hap[C#m]pened
[G#m]All I knew was this
How could he commit a crime against our [B]pas[C#m]sion
[PRE-CHORUS]
[G#m]Ooh... the [F#]moment that I saw them [E]kiss
[G#m]Ooh... I [F#]knew it had to end like [E]this
[CHORUS]
[G#m]Preacher, [F#]take me down
[E]Take me down to the [C#m]river, [E]river
[G#m]I couldn't [F#]help myself
[E]When I saw him [C#m]with her, [E]with her
[G#m]I took that [F#]loaded gun
Forg[E]ive what I have [C#m]done[E]
So [G#m]preacher, [F#]take me down
[E]Take me down to the [C#m]river, [E]river
[VERSE 2]
[G#m]The writing's on the wall, but it was his fault
How could anybody [B]blame [C#m]me
[G#m]I swear to tell the truth, and if you only knew
I swear you'd do the [B]same [C#m]thing
[PRE-CHORUS]
[G#m]Ooh... if[F#] you give me one more [E]chance
[G#m]Ooh... I'll [F#]never shoot him down ag[E]ain
[CHORUS]
[G#m]Preacher, [F#]take me down
