[A] [Dm] [A]
Was it true what I heard about the son of God?
Did he come to save, did he come at all?
And if I [C] dried his feet with my [Bm] dirty hair
[Gm] Would he make me [A] clean again?
They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come
When there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun
It will [C] just go black, it will [Bm] just go back
[Gm] To the way it [A] was before
[D] I knew a lovely girl with such [A] pretty pride
And every man wanted her, yeah [Dm] and so did I
Yeah and so [C] did I
But she [Bm] up and died [Gm] in a fit [A] of vanity
Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns
And they'll kill a man for what his father's done
But what my [C] father did, [G] you know it [Bm] don't mean shit
[Gm] I'm [A] not him
[Dm] [A]
But it's hard to ignore all the news reports
They say we must defend ourselves, fight on foreign soil
Against the [C]
infidels [G] with the oil wells
[Gm] God saves [D] gas prices
[A] And you think I need some discipline, well I have my share
Now I've been sent to my room, I've been sat in a chair
And I [C] held my tongue, [A] I didn't [Bm] plug my ears
[Bb] No I got a good [A] talking to
And I don't know why but I still try to smile
When they talk at me like I'm just a child
Well I'm [C] not a child
[G] No I am [Gm] much [D] younger than that
But now I've read some books and I've grown quite brave
If I could just speak up [A] I think I would say
That there [C] is no truth, there [Bm] is only you
[Bb] And what you [D] make the truth
So I'll just sing my songs and I'll pass a hat
And then I'll leave your town and I'll never look back
No I don't [C] look back
Because the [Bm] road is clear [Bb] and laid [D] out ahead of me
Now I'll get home, I'll meet my friends at our favorite bar
We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts
And we'll [C] share a drink, yeah we'll share [Bm] our fears
And [Bb] they'll know how [D] I love them
[A] They will know how I love, they will know [D] how I love them
I'm nothing without their love

Or the truth, what they say [E] about the son [D] of God
Did he die for us, did he die at all?
And if I [C] sold my soul for a [Em] bag of gold
[Bb] Which one of us would be [D] the foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool?
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool?
