Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - White Beretta

[Intro]
Em G Em G

[Verse 1]
Em G
We were running through the red lights
Em
In a hurry to get to nowhere
G
In a white Beretta
Em G
We’ll go to Memphis in the morning
Em
To get it over with and in a couple days
G
You’ll feel a lot better

[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
I was raised in the church
Em
I was washed in the blood and we all were saved
G
Before we even left home
Em
If his love is unconditional
G
Why do I feel so miserable?
Em G
Why are you digging your nails in the Styrofoam?

[Chorus]
D
It was so many years ago
Am
Oh, and I just didn’t know
Em D
But that ain’t no excuse
D
For bеing who you are
Am Em
I thank you, and I’m sorry
D
For what you went through

[Verse 2]
Em
I was sitting at a red light
G
Listеning to Son Volt
Em G
May the wind take your troubles away
Em
Could have been somebody’s father
G
Couldn’t boil a pot of water
Em G
I was nineteen years old in nineteen ninety eight

[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
Raised in the church
Em
Washed in the blood and we all were saved
G
Before we even left home
Em
I thank God you weren’t brought up like me
G
With all that shame and certainty
Em G
And I’m sorry you had to go in that room alone

[Chorus]
D
It was so many years ago
Am
Oh, and I just didn’t know
Em D
But that ain’t no excuse
D
For bеing who you are
Am Em
I thank you, and I’m sorry
D
For what I put you through

[Solo]
Em G Em G

[Chorus]
D
It was so many years ago
Am
Oh, and I just didn’t know
Em D
But that ain’t no excuse
D Am
I thank you for your grace
Em
For the dreams we got to chase
D
For what you chose to do

[Outro]
Em
We were running through the red lights
G Em
In a hurry to get to nowhere
G
In a white Beretta
