G                    C G                         Em
Julia, do you remember how the church bells rang 
                Am                        C      D     G
How your Sunday dress looked, and how the angels sang 
                                                                        Em
But they kept us in a stranglehold, they filled our heads up with fear 
                            Am   C                     D
And I saw the light in your eyes disappear through the years 


[Chorus]

   Em     G
Oh Julia
          C                 G
I think I finally found the truth 
          Em                   G       C
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
   Em    G 
Oh Julia 


[Verse]

G                           C G                       
Sunday morning on Main Street, with the walls closing in
              Em             Am     C         D            G
We washed the shame from our faces, left from last night’s sins 

Your mama told me she prayed for me, I think that I understood 
              Em             Am            C                      D
She must have seen something in me, I just doubt it was something good 


[Chorus]

   Em     G
Oh Julia
          C                 G
I think I finally found the truth 
          Em                   G       C
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
   Em    G 
Oh Julia 


[Bridge]

D            C               G                 Am
I just wanna let you know, I think I’m finally free
D              C             G                    Am 
Tell the congregation not to waste their grace on me


[Solo]

G C G


[Chorus]

   Em     G
Oh Julia
          C                 G
I think I finally found the truth 
          Em                   G       C
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
   Em    G 
Oh Julia 
         C                   G
What you told me still rings true
          Em       D           G       C
You gotta kill whatever’s been killing you
   Em    G 
Oh Julia
