Am7Oh my God, look around this Fplace,
Your fingers Creach around the bone,

In present Cpain all fools Gsay, "Oh my God."

Am7Oh my God, why are we so afFraid'
We make it wCorse when we don't bleed,
There is no cGure for our disease.
Turn a phAm7rase and rise aFgain,
Or fake your dCeath and only tell your closest fGriends,
Oh my God.

Am7Oh my God, can I compFlain'
You take away my fCirm belief and graft my sGoul upon Your grief.
Am7Weddings, boats, and alFibis,
All drift aCway, and a mother crGies...
No Guitar
Liars and fools, sons and failures, thieves will always say
Lost and foAmund, ailing wGanderers, heaClers always sFay
AmWhores and angels, Gmen with problems, Cleavers always sFay
AmBroken hearted, sepGarated, oCrphans always sFay
AmWar creators, raGcial haters, preCachers always sFay
AmDistant fathers, faGllen warriors, giCvers always sFay
AmPilgrim saints, lGonely widows, uCsers always Fsay
AmFearful mothers, watGchful doubters, SaCviors always sFay
AmSometimes I can not forgive
and Gthese days mercy cuts so deep,
CIf the world was how it should, Fmaybe I could get some sleep.
AmWhile I lay, I'd dream we're better, Gscales were gone and faces
lighter, Cwhen we wake we hate our brother, we still Fmove to hurt each other.
AmSometimes I can close my eyes and Gall the fear the keeps me silent,
CFalls below my heavy breathing, wFhat makes me so badly bent'
AmWe all have a chance to murder, Gwe all have the need for wonder.
CWe still want to be reminded that the Fpain is worth the plunder.
AmSometimes when I lose my grip, GI wonder what to make of heaven,
CAll the times I thought to reach up, Fall the times I had to give up.
AmBabies underneath their beds, Gin hospitals that cannot treat them.
CAll the wounds that money causes, aFll the comforts of cathedrals,
AmAll the cries of thirsty children, Gthis is our inheritance,
CAll the rage of watching mothers, Fthis is our greatest offense
AmOh my God, GOh my God, COh my GodF.
