Verse 1
I (B minor) think a big mistake (D major) everybody makes
is (G major) they always think
there's going to (B minor) be a tomorrow.
Everybody always (D major) thinks,
you know, (B minor) things are (D major) bad today.
If just live long enough,
(B minor) everything will be fine. (G major)
(D major) An d sometimes that's
(B minor) true.
Sometimes things get worse.
I mean, like, you know,
look at the history of the world.
Things have not, in fact, got (D major) better.
(A major) Turn it (B minor) back. (A major) It's looking pretty (B minor) grim. (A major)
(B minor) A lot of people just want to wring their hands,
you know, and say, Oh,
what are we going to do?
You know, everything's
getting so bad.
People are so lonely.
People are doing desperate things.
You know, (G major) ra cism is a (D major) big deal still.
You know, and now there's terrorism.
(G major) You know, you add terrorism to (B minor) racism,
you got real problems.
(G major) You got people wanting
to kill each other
in Asia and in America and (D major) everywhere. (B minor) and everybody says,
you know, what can I do?
(G major) You know, people get really depressed,
you know, because they think there's
(B minor) nothing they can do about (A major) it.
(B minor) Maybe there's nothing you can do
about the people
(G major) in Afghanistan.
I don't know. Maybe there's nothing you can do
about the situ (B minor) ation in Poland.
But the real (G major) tragedy
is that (E minor) most people don't
do anything
(B minor) about the situation that they've got just
in their immediate proximity.
I think it all comes back to a lack of faith.
I think we (G major) want a chief God.
I think we want a God
who is easy to follow,
who (D major) is easy to believe in,
and easy to set aside
(C major) whenever we're ready to do (B minor) that.
And then (D major) when we have to live with the res
(G major) ults of that kind of faith,
we don't (B minor) like him so much.
Because if you don't be
(G major) lieve he's really there,
then you (D major) can't believe
he can really (A major) change things.
(B minor) (G major) (A minor)
(G major) (E minor) (G major) (D minor) (C major)
(G major) You (A minor) think you know so well
(B minor) about (G major) how (C major) the world could be fixed (G major)
(A minor) It's just your own life's prob (B minor) lems
that you (G major) can't (D major) handle
And (C major) no one can hear you cryin'
(G major) No one can (B minor) see your (E minor) pain
(B minor) You (C major) keep it all inside
(G major) So it don't in (Dsus4) terfere with the game
(D major) that you play with (C major) those
Saints are sin (G major) ners,
no (D major) one knows who's (G major) who
(C major) Everybody's got (D major) secrets
to keep (G major) (D major) (Bdim)
(C major) Holy pre (G major) tenders,
tryin' (B major) to feel God's (E minor) shoes (G major)
(C major) When they haven't got
the right size (G major) feet (C major) (D major)
(G major) Open the (A minor) churches with the
(C major) bishops (G major) an d all
Preach (E minor) it in the (D minor) name of (C major) Je sus
(G major) Just (A minor) show a selfless in (G major) terest
in the (C major) garb of spiritual talk (A minor)
Giving your (G major) clientele prestigi (D major) ous
No (C major) one can see you're shaking
(G major) You're (B minor) too proud to let (D major) it out (E minor)
(G major) Like (C major) God would oversee (G major) you
If you (Dsus4) ever confessed (D major) your doubt
Well, you're one of them
(C major) Saints or (G major) sinners
No (D major) one knows who's (G major) who
(C major) Everybody's got (D major) secrets
to keep (G major) (D major) (Bdim)
(C major) Holy pre (G major) tenders been (B major) try
in' to feel God's (E minor) shoes
(G major) An (C major) d I haven't got the (D major) right size (G major) feet
I (F major) know I'm (C major) one of us (G major) two
I (E minor) worked out (D major) my own (G major) game
and (C major) I'm frozen with (B minor) fear like (E minor) you
Oh (A minor) Lord, won't you melt in the
(D major) warmth of your hands
Us (C major) saints and (G major) sinners
with (D major) nothing but pain to lose (G major)
(C major) Giving up all the (Dsus4) secrets
(D major) we keep (G major) (D major) (Bdim)
(C major) All us holy pretend (G major) ers,
we could (B major) never fill your (E minor) shoes (G major)
(C major) Help us, Lord, to fol (A minor) low in your (D major) footsteps
(G major) (D major) (Bdim) (C major) Help us, Lord, to follow
(A minor) in your footsteps (D major) (C major) (G major) (A minor)
