Verse 1
(E minor) It (C major) was during my (E minor) 2nd senior year
when Mom found Jesus (C major) Christ. (E minor) His
spirit was trapped in (C major) side an old
(E minor) manischevitz bottle (C major) that Mom picked
out of (E minor) the (C major) dumpster behind the (E minor) 7-11. Mom
brought the bottle inside and
(C major) sat it down (E minor) on top of the TV. Then she
(C major) told all of us kids to gather (E minor)
round, and (C major) then she explained (E minor) how Jesus lived in the bottle, (C major)
and how,
(E minor) if she wanted to,
she could call (C major) him out to (E minor) do her bidding. Sis said (C major) it
reminded her of an old (E minor) TV show, (C major)
and Mom slapped her and called (E minor) her a
heretic. (C major) I didn't say (E minor) anything,
cause I just still remember the (C major) time
outside the (E minor) Safeway, when it took 4 security
guards to hold Mom down. (C major) (G major)
Verse 2
Jesus loves me, yes I know (E minor)
For the Bible tells (C major) me so
When I'm weak he makes me strong
That's why I sing (G major) this song
If I die before I wake
(E minor) Pray to him my soul don't take (C major)
Jesus loves me,
yes I know
(E minor)

Verse 3
It wasn't long be (C major) fore people from
all over (E minor) the world (C major) started coming to
our house to see the (E minor) bottle. At (C major) first
I thought (E minor) that this would make me
more pop (C major) ular at school. Instead it
(E minor) seemed to have the opposite (C major) result.
Kids would (E minor) stop (C major) and point at me (E minor) in the hallway
and say, "There's the (C major) boy
whose mother keep (E minor) s our savior cooped
up in that (C major) tiny little bottle." (E minor) And
then every (C major) body star (E minor) ted calling me 'Bottle
(C major) boy'. And that really (E minor) hurt. It
was also around (C major) this time (E minor) that Mom began
to attract some really (C major) weird
follow (E minor) ers. Like that guy (C major) who never
used (E minor) deodorant and spoke only in
(C major) riddles. (E minor) And that woman who collected (C major)
19th century (E minor) hand made (C major) (G major) Amish
swimwear.
Verse 4
Jesus loves me, yes I (E minor) know
For the Bible tells me so
(C major) When I'm weak he makes me strong
That's why I sing (G major) this song
If I die before I wake
(E minor) Pray to him my soul (C major) don't take
Jesus loves me, yes I know
(B flat major) Mommy
Verse 5
she loved Jesus,
(F major) but not like others did
For she had a (B flat major) special bottle in
which our savior lived
(B flat major) Mommy she loved Jesus,
(F major) but not like others did
For she (G sharp major) could unleash His vengeance
by unfastening the lid (E minor)
Verse 6
As the year went on, things went (C major) from bad to (E minor) worse,
and I realized that
if there wasn't a big change pretty soon,
(A minor) I'd never (E minor) be able to get a
date for the prom. (C major) I couldn't go the
(E minor) year before because Mom belonged
to a church that considered dancing
(C major) a one way (E minor) ticket to Hell. But
that's a whole nother (C major) story. (E minor) (C major) Anyway,
by this point Mom had (E minor) appeared on
the Richard Bey Show,
A.M. Philadelphia and (A minor) (C major) Geraldo, so there (E minor) was
no use in me chan (C major) ging schools,
since (E minor) everybody knew who my Mom was.
Also (A minor) we had to spend all the (E minor) money
from Mom's person (A minor) al appearances (E minor) to
hire a bodyguard, since (A minor) by this point (C major)
we (E minor) were getting about (C major) 400 death
threats a day. (G major)
Verse 7
Jesus (G major) loves me, yes I know
(E minor) For the Bible tells (C major) me so
When I'm weak he makes me strong
That's why I sing (G major) this song
If I die before I wake
(E minor) Pray to him my soul (C major) don't take
Jesus loves me, yes I know (E minor)
Verse 8
(G major) Then one night, I just could (E minor) n't stand
(C major) it any more. While everyone (E minor) else
was sleep (G major) ing I crept downstair (E minor) s.
(C major) Slowly I went up (E minor) to the bottle and
began (G major) to unfasten the lid. (E minor) At first, (C major)
nothing happened. (E minor) But then the (G major) room
filled with a thick white (E minor) smoke. (C major) I was
glad my sister had (E minor) taken the
bat (G major) teries out of the smoke detector to
(E minor) put into her (C major) Walkman. When the
smoke cleared, (E minor) I (G major) found myself face to face with the son (E minor) of God, (C major)
who was
much shorter than I had expec (E minor) ted.
(G major) He told me that since I'd freed Him,
(E minor) He'd grant me one (C major) wish. And that's how
(E minor) I got (C major) to go to the (G major) prom with
Geena Davis. (E minor) But you prob (C major) ably already
read about that (G major) in People.
Verse 9
Jesus loves me, yes (G major) I know
(E minor) For the Bible tells (C major) me so
When I'm weak he makes me strong
That's why I sing (G major) this song
If I die before I wake
(E minor) Pray to him my soul don't take
(C major) Jesus loves me, yes I know
Verse 10
(B flat major) Mommy she loved Jesus,
(F major) but not like others did
For she had a (B flat major) special bottle in
which our savior lived
(B flat major) Mommy she loved Jesus,
(F major) but not like others did
For she (G sharp major) could unleash His vengeance
by unfastening the lid
(B flat major) Mommy she loved Jesus,
(F major) but not like others did
For she had a special (B flat major) bottle
in which our savior lived
(B flat major) Mommy she loved Jesus,
(F major) but not like others did
For she could un (G sharp major) leash His vengeance
by unfastening the lid
(E minor) (C major) (E minor)
