[Verse 1]
 G                        D                   G
I bathe in holy water, in search of what I've done
                            D              G
I had to share my sorrow and treat it like a son
                                      D            G
Now I feel ten stone lighter with the devil off my back
                               D               G
I'm cursed to never stumble, you cursed to never crack


[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C               D                  G
If I ever run away, they know where I'll be found
    Em          C             D                   G
No, I can never run away, I'm sure they'd hunt me down
          C          D
But maybe you, maybe you could help to


[Chorus]
G                       C              G
Wash away my demons and take them from me
D                              G
Wash away my demons, have some mercy, won't you please?
G                         C
Wash away my problems and send them to the sea
D                       G
Wash away my demons and cleanse my inequity

Holy water (Save me)
            C
Holy water (Save me)
            Em             D
Holy water, save me from myself
                   G
Yeah, save me from me


[Verse 2]
G                             D             G
I'm sorry for the bother, I'm sorry for the sins
                              D                  G
I'm here before your altar, I pray that it's the end
                                  D                   G
And with the voice of reason, and with some help from friends
                             D             G
I hope to one day slumber, I hope to sleep again


[Pre-Chorus]
Em              C              D                  G
If I should ever run away, you know where I'll be found
Em               C             D                G
If I should ever run away, you need not hunt me down
          C          D
But maybe you, maybe you could help to


[Chorus]
G                       C
Wash away my demons and take them from me
D                              G
Wash away my demons, have some mercy, won't you please?
G                         C
Wash away my problems and send them to the sea
D                       G
Wash away my demons and cleanse my inequity

Holy water (Save me)
            C
Holy water (Save me)
            G    C         D
Holy water, save me from myself
            G
Holy water (Save me)
            C
Holy water (Save me)
           Em             D
Holy water save me from myself
              C    G
Yeah, save me from me

[Outro]
G               C        D                G
I hope to never run away but if one day I do
     G         C               Em                G
Then don't you dare, don't you dare come running too
