[N] [Eb]
[Bbm]
But I always loved about Jesus, what I love about Jesus is love.
God is love.
A lot of
God is unknowable, ineffable.
[Eb] One thing we [Bbm] know is God is not hate.
This is a song about
people who recreate God in their own image.
Tiny, pathetic, you know the kind of people
I'm talking about.
Osama Bin Laden might be one of those kind of people.
[Eb] But you know
I'm [Bbm] kind of one of those kind of people too.
Honestly, [Ebm]
shrinking [Bbm] God all the time.
So this
is a song written about some religious nuts, political fanatics [Gb] that we grew up around
in [Bbm] Ireland.
Now you're living with here in the United States, the fear of.
So you never
[Ab] knew love until [Eb] you crossed [Gb] the line of grace.
[Bbm] And you never felt [Ab] wanted until someone [Gb] slapped
your face.
[Bbm] And you never felt [Ab] alive [Eb] until you almost [Gb] wasted away.
[Bbm] You had to win.
You
couldn't just pass [Ebm] the smartest ass [Gb] at the top of the class.
[Bbm] You fly in colors, your
family tree, [Ebm] all your lessons [Gb] in history.
[Bbm] Please, [Ab] please, [Eb] please [Gb] get up [Ab] off your knees [Bbm] now.
[Ab] Please,
please, [Eb] please [Gb] leave [Ab] it.
[Bbm]
So you [Ab] never knew what was on the ground [Gb] until you made them crawl.
[Bbm] You
never [Ab] knew how [Eb] low it stood [Gb] to make that call.
[Bbm] So you never knew [Ab]
that the [Eb] heaven you keep, [Gb] you stole.
[Bbm] Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes, [Ebm] your stick-on tattoos, [Gb] never making
news.
[Bbm] Your holy war, [Ab] your Northern [Bbm]
star, [Ebm] your sermon on the mount, [Gb] the boot of your car.
[Bbm] Please, [Ab]
please, [Eb] please [Gb] get up [Ab] off your knees [Bbm] now.
Please, [Ab] please, [Eb] please [Gb] leave [Ab] it.
[Bbm]
September streets [Cm] capsizing, [Ab] spilling over [Eb] [Bbm] down drain.
Shards of glass splinters like [Eb] rain.
But you can only feel [Bbm] your own pain.
October,
so [Eb] getting nowhere.
[Bbm] November, [Fm] December.
[Eb] Remember, [Bbm] is it starting again?
[Ab]
[Eb] Please, [Gb] get up off your knees [Bbm] now.
Please, [Ab] please,
[Eb] please [Gb] show me [Ab] the sign.
[Bbm] And love [Ab] is bigger [Ebm] than [Gb] us.
[Bbm] And love is [Ab] not what [Ebm] you think.
[Gb]
It's what [Bbm] lovers deal.
It's what [Ab] lovers steal.
You know I found [Eb] it hard to [Gb] receive.
But [Bbm] you know I [Ab] could [Ebm] never believe.
