Garfunkel and Oates - The Loophole
**Capo 3rd**
D MajorD G+G
All my life I've been good
D MajorD A augmentedA
Do what my mom and dad and God say I should
D MajorD G+G
Go to church and Bible School
A augmentedA D MajorD
To live by God's rule
B minorBm
So whatever people tell me
B minorBm A augmentedA
That The Bible tells me
D MajorD
I will do
D MajorD G+G
Walk the halls at my school with my purity ring
B minorBm E MajorE
Unlike those other girls, I've got my morals in check
D MajorD G+G
It was easy to do until I got a boyfriend
B minorBm E MajorE
And pardon my French, but he's cute as heck
D MajorD G+G
And I made a pact
D MajorD G+G
To keep my hymen intact
G+G A augmentedA
And Jesus and I are tight
D MajorD G+G
Never learned about the birds and the bees
B minorBm E MajorE
I was taught to keep an aspirin in between my knees
D MajorD G+G
'Cause The Bible says premarital sex is wrong
B minorBm E MajorE
But Jason says that guys can't wait that long
G+G D MajorD
I don't want to lose him
G+G D MajorD
To someone who'll do him
G+G A augmentedA
I need to figure something out
D MajorD G+G
Well there's a loophole in The Scripture that works really well
B minorBm E MajorE
So I can get him off without going to hell
D MajorD G+G
It's my Hail Mary, full of grace
B minorBm E MajorE
In Jesus' name we go to fifth base!
B minorBm E MajorE
Oh thank you for making me holy
B minorBm E MajorE
And thank you for giving me holes to choose from
G+G A augmentedA
And since I'm not a godless whore
G+G A augmentedA
He'll have to come in the back door
Therefore
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
Fuck me in the ass 'cause I love Jesus
B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
The good Lord would want it that way
D MajorD E MajorE G+G E MajorE
Get that sweet sensation a throbbing rationalization
G+G A augmentedA
It's just between you and me
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see
D MajorD G+G
It's hard to be as pure as me
B minorBm A augmentedA
To resist the urge to lose my vaginal virginity
D MajorD G+G
To wait until my marriage bed
B minorBm A augmentedA
To give my husband my unsullied maiden head
G+G D MajorD
So take your cock out
G+G D MajorD
Shove it in my ass
G+G A augmentedA
Fuck me until you come
G+G D MajorD
Oops! I mean let's join our souls
G+G D MajorD
And unite our bodies
G+G A augmentedA
And fly with the wings of God
D MajorD G+G
Whatever you do, don't touch my clitoris
B minorBm A augmentedA
If you ring Satan's doorbell, God can't ignore this
D MajorD G+G
And no prophylactics when you put it in
B minorBm E MajorE
'Cause birth control's for sluts and it's a sin
G+G D MajorD
I've emptied my bowels
G+G D MajorD
And laid out the towels
G+G A augmentedA
I'm ready for romance
D MajorD G+G
Now I'm praying to the Power that's the Highest
B minorBm A augmentedA
But of all of my holes, this ones the driest
D MajorD G+G
And we can't procreate if we anal copulate
B minorBm E MajorE
And God is OK with sodomy, but only if you're straight
G+G D MajorD
And I'm staying pure, no matter what
G+G A augmentedA
So I'm OK with everything butt
Everything butt
Everything butt
Whoa-oh
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
Fuck me in the ass 'cause I love Jesus
B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
The good Lord would want it that way
D MajorD E MajorE G+G E MajorE
Get that sweet sensation a rock hard rationalization
G+G A augmentedA
It's just between you and me
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see
B minorBm E MajorE
I do whatever The Bible tells me to
B minorBm A augmentedA
Except for the parts that I choose to ignore
B minorBm A augmentedA
Because they're unrealistic and inconvenient
B minorBm E MajorE
But the rest I live by for sure
G+G A augmentedA
So let's not talk about how the Good Book bans shellfish, polyester and divorce
G+G A augmentedA
And how it condones slavery and killing gays because those parts don't happen of course
E MajorE G+G
Let's cherry-pick the part about losing my cherry and (line up for ambiguities as omissions?)
A augmentedA B minorBm
And circumvent any real sacrifice, and still feel pious in my arbitrary parroted
E MajorE
positions
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
And don't you dare question my convictions
E MajorE G+G
And don't look closely at the contradictions
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
And just focus on the sacrificial crucifixion
E MajorE G+G
And have faith in its complete jurisdiction
E MajorE
As the only way to measure if you're good or not
And when you're in a debate, just say to “have faith”
A augmentedA
Because when you're up against logic it's the only card you've got
G+G
So close your eyes
A augmentedA
Take a deep breath
And..
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
Fuck me in the ass 'cause I love Jesus
B minorBm G+G A augmentedA
The good Lord would want it that way
D MajorD E MajorE G+G E MajorE
Get that sweet sensation an irrational rationalization
G+G A augmentedA
It's just between you and me
G+G A augmentedA E MajorE
'Cause everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see
G+G A augmentedA
Yeah, my chastity belt has locks
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
So sometimes you need to think outside the box
