When You Love A Sinner

G C G C G C G
                G           D
When you love a sinner, you hate the sin
             C
You hate the temptress in the bottle seducin' him again
        G                      D
And you blame the cold for the winter
                C      G
When you love a sinner

           Am        C                 G
I tell my- self that everything's okay
          D      C                G
I paint a pretty smile on my face
            D           Em                                          A7
He lies and says, "I'll change," but on his breath and in his veins
                     C D
The truth still lin- gers
               G         D
Deep down, you know that it's a crime
             C
You know you didn't pull the trigger, but you're the one who does the time
        G                        D
And you pay the debt; you're the lender
                C      G
When you love a sinner

           Am        C                 G
I tell my- self that everything's okay
          D      C                G
I paint a pretty smile on my face
               D       Em                       A7
But I'm slowly lettin' go, 'cause in my heart I know
                           D
That I can't make him bet- ter, oh

C G C G
              D     Em                     A7
And I've been goin' under and now I under- stand
                     C                     D
That you can't tread water with a drownin' man ---
         G                    D
I love a sinner, I justify it how I can
             C   E D                                  G C     G
So, it's the sin      I'm leaving, not the man
