Well I (E major) see him on the TV

He (E major) tells me "believe in Jesus"
Steals the (A/E) money from my hands

(E minoraj7) Lord I think he sinned (A/E)
Yeah yeah

Cries a (A/E) suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a (E major) losing war on a foreign shore
To find his (A/E) country didn't want him back
Their (E major) bullet took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his (A/E) wife n kids, no regrets
In a (E major) time I don't remember
In a (A/E) war he can't forget
He cried for (E major) give me for what I done (F sharp minor) there
Cause I (E/G#) never meant the things I did (A major)
Chorus 1
And give me something to be (E major) lieve in
If there's a (A/E) lord above
And give me something to be (E major) lieve in
Oh, (A/E) Lord arise
Verse 3
My (E major) best friend died a lonely man
In some (A/E) Palm Springs hotel room
I (E major) got the call last Christmas Eve
And they (A/E) told me the news
I (E major) tried all night not to break down n' cry
As the (A/E) tears rolled down my face
I (E major) felt so cold and empty
Like a (A/E) lost soul out of place
And the (E major) mirror, mirror on (F sharp minor) the wall
Sees my (E/G#) smile it fades a (A major) gain
Chorus 2
Uh give me something to be (E major) lieve in
If there's a (A/E) Lord above
Uh give me something to be (E major) lieve in
Oh. (A/E) Lord arise
Sometimes I (E major) wish to God I didn't (F sharp minor) know now
(E/G#) Things I did know then (A major)
Road you gotta take me home

Verse 4
I drive by the (E major) homeless
sleepin' on a cold dark street
Like (A major) bodies in an open grave
(E major) Underneath the broken old neon sign
(A major) Used to read "Jesus saves"
A (E major) mile away live the rich folk
And I (A/E) see how they're livin' it up
But while the (E major) poor they eat
from hand to mouth
The rich are (A/E) drinkin' from the golden cup
And (E major) it just makes me wonder (F sharp minor)
Why so many lose (E/G#) and so few win (A major)
Chorus 3
Ha! Give me something to be (E major) lieve in
(uh, give me something to be (A/E) lieve in)
Give me something to be (E major) lieve in
If there's a (A/E) Lord above
Give me something to be (E major) lieve in
Oh, (A/E) Lord arise
Give me something to be (E major) lieve in
Oh, (A/E) Lord arise
Oh, give me something to be (E major) lieve in
Oh, (A/E) Lord arise
Give me something to be (E major) lieve in
Oh, (A/E) Lord arise
Outro 1
Yeah, some (E major) times I wish I (F sharp minor) didn't know now
(E/G#) Things I didn't know then
