Verse 2
(D major)
Because you (A major) cannot walk with the holy,
If you're just a (D major) halfway decent man.
I don't pre (A major) tend that I'm a mastermind
With a (D major) genius marketing plan.
I'm trying to (A major) tap into some wisdom,
Even a (D major) little drop will do.
I want (F sharp minor) to rid my heart of envy
And (B minor) cleanse my soul of rage
Before (Bdim) I'm through. (B flat major)
Verse 3
(A minor) Times are hard,
it's a hard time
But everybody knows all
about (B flat major) hard times.
The thing is, (A minor) what are you gonna do?
Well, you cry and try to (B flat major) muscle through
Try to (A minor) rearrange your stuff
But when the (G major) wounds are
deep enough,
(F major) It's all that we can bear,
(B flat major) We wrap ourselves (F major) in
(C major) pray (E major) er (A major) . (D major)
Verse 4
Because you (A major) cannot walk with the holy,
If you're just a (D major) halfway decent man.
I don't pre (A major) tend that I'm a mastermind
With a (D major) genius marketing plan.
I'm trying to (A major) tap into some wisdom,
Even a (D major) little drop willdo.
I want (F sharp minor) to rid my heart of envy
And (B minor) cleanse my soul of rage
Before I'm (Bdim) through. (D minor) (A minor)
A mother murmurs in (C major) twi (A minor) light sleep
(B flat major) And draws her babies closer. (A minor) (F major)
(G major) With hush-a-byes for for
(F major) for sleepy eyes, (A minor)
(B flat major) And kisses (F major) on the shoulder (C major) .
(B flat major) To drive away (F major) despair (C major)
(B flat major) She says a wartime (F major) prayer
